About This Activity
This one-day class being offered during Bishop Chatard’s summer camp program is designed to prepare students in grades 6 and up to be safe when they are home alone, watching younger siblings or babysitting. The instructor-led class is filled with fun games and role-playing exercises. Class includes: Safety Skills: Students learn how to prevent unsafe situations and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies. First Aid and Rescue Skills: Learning skills such as choking rescue are often the students’ favorite part of the class. Students also learn a system to help them assess and respond to injuries and illnesses. Child Care Skills: Students learn tips to manage behavior that will help them stay in control of themselves and the children in their care. Students also learn the ages and stages of child development, as well as practice diapering. Life and Business Skills: The ability to screen jobs, discuss fees, and greet employers will set students up for success now and in the future. Students practice these skills through various role plays. Students will receive the Safe Sitter book at the class and a certificate of completion. Class will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with a 30-minute break for lunch. (Students are asked to bring their own lunch.) Cost for the class is $75.
