ROCKPORT — Five Town CSD Adult Education is offering a new babysitting class for youths ages 11-15.

The primary purpose of the Babysitter’s Training course is to provide youth who are planning to babysit with the knowledge and skills necessary to give care safely and responsibly for children and infants, such as diapering, bottle- and spoon-feeding, age-appropriate games, activities, and dealing with uncooperative children.

This training will help participants to develop leadership skills and become better babysitters. They will learn how to build a babysitting business, keep themselves and others safe, and learn about basic childcare and basic first aid.

The course meets March 14, 21, and 28, from 4 - 7 p.m., at Camden Hills Regional High School. Sign up online at https://fivetowns.coursestorm.com/course/babysitter-training-american-red-cross?search=babysitting or call the office at 236-7803.
