Babysitting 101

By Lindsey Tripp - Macaroni Kid Content Contributor April 3, 2018

“Can I go to the movies?” “Can you buy me this shirt?” “Can I have some money?”  The begging for money never ends when you have children.  Give them a way to earn their own cash.   The Woman’s Foundation here in Lafayette offers classes for children 11 years old and older for safe babysitting.  These classes teach infant/child CPR, what to do in an emergency, how to prevent and manage injuries, how to set up a babysitting business, how to entertain children of different age groups, and so much more.  These classes are great to give your child the confidence to stay home alone or babysit other children for money.  Classes are starting in June.  Pre-registration is required.  Their website has all the information about the classes, http://womansfoundation.com/safe-sitter/ , or you can call at 337-988-1816 for more information.
