Gone are the days of calling the neighbor's daughter to babysit. At least, without her having the proper credentials. Childcare on all levels is important. When education on childcare can be obtained, it should be embraced, because it only enhances the provider's knowledge. Case in point, the Red Cross Babysitting Course offered May 16, 2009, 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., in conference rooms A & B at the Somerset Medical Center.

The course is geared for youth ages 11 -15. The objective is to provide them with skill sets essential to provide safe and responsible care in the absence of parents or guardians. The training is designed to foster leadership skills, professionalism, basic care, safety, safe play and first aid. Upon completion the student will receive a certificate and an illustrated book. The class size is limited. Students should bring  lunch and a snack.

The fee is $60. Call 908-685-2814 to register.

Good point...we were just discussing that with our neighbor...for 50 cents an hour...I made meals, took them shopping, played, bathed, washed and set hair, ironed....now you pay by the child and the minute....and being qualified as well as a large dose of common sense never hurt !

Wow! $60 to learn how to babysit. How many babysitting jobs does one have to do to recoup that $60?

I'm kind of surprised there even is babysitting anymore. I thought parents just sat their kids in front of the television of the Gameboy -- LOL.
