The Child and Babysitting Safety (CABS) program from the American Safety and Health Institute (approved by the American Pediatrics Association) gives everything you need to know for safe and successful babysitting. You will learn the responsibilities of being a prepared, safe, responsible and professional babysitter. Topics include supervision, behavior guidance, proper feeding and diapering techniques, personal safety, basic first aid, medical emergencies, and fire safety. Dolls, bottles and diaper supplies will be provided at class for hands-on participation. You will receive a certification card and a downloadable handbook. *Bring a nut-free snack and beverage to class.

This class teaches kids how to stay safe when they’re home by themselves. We’ll talk about what to do in case of an emergency, how to use the kitchen safely, how to stay safe online, and how to handle things like sibling arguments or dealing with strangers. Students will also learn basic first aid and fire safety. After the class, families will receive a handout by email with all the key information we covered.
