Short Courses

Looking for a way to train some competent, capable babysitters? Does it need to be simple and easy? Do the babysitters-to-be need to learn about basic first aid, infant care, how to handle emergency situations, how to entertain young children and a host of other topics?

Then the 4-H Babysitting Course is for you! A leader guide is available that provides all of the details needed to set up a course in your local community. Member guides are also available that contain the information necessary for the babysitters in a simple, easy to read, attractive booklet. Contact your local 4-H office for more information.

In addition, in Plymouth, Norfolk and Barnstable Counties other short courses are available. Contact those offices for details.
