Babysitting is a serious responsibility, but with the right training, it can be very rewarding. Northern Light Mayo Hospital is holding a Safe Sitter, CPR, and First Aid class on June 18, 19, and 20 to teach local sixth, seventh, and eighth graders the basics needed to become responsible sitters.

“This hands-on, interactive class will prepare students to successfully handle the challenges they may face when caring for children,” says Beth Weatherbee, BSN, M. Ed., staff development specialist, Mayo Hospital. “We’ll cover all of the fundamentals of babysitting, such as how to choose age-appropriates games and activities and how to start a babysitting business as well as safety topics including first aid and how to respond to an emergency.”

A fee of $125 covers instruction and all materials needed to complete the class. To register, please email beweatherbee@northernlight.org or call 207.991.6051.
