Advanced Babysitter's Safety Seminar

Course Description:

Thomas Safety Solutions is pleased to offer our 2-day Advanced Babysitter’s Safety Seminar.  In this in-depth CABS seminar we stress the priority to keep you and the children you care for safe.  Babysitting training is important because it gives child care providers the information and instruction they need to properly care for children.  Even if you are experienced with babysitting, taking babysitting safety classes can be remarkably beneficial in enhancing the safety of your child care services.  This Seminar will cover basic child care; responsibilities of a babysitter; accident prevention; feeding and playing with children; Adult, Child, Infant CPR/AED; First Aid; and emergency know-how.  Participants who complete this seminar will be certified in Adult, Child, Infant CPR/AED, First Aid, and Child and Babysitting Safety (CABS).  The participant will also learn how to handle common emergencies, how to activate the Emergency Action Plan, Basic Fire Safety and many more Safety related topics.  This seminar is presented in an entertaining and interactive manner.
