The Super Sitter course has been
designed by Southeast nurses experienced in
infant and child care. They will be your instructors
along with representatives from area police
and
fire departments. |
The course objective is for you
to be as prepared as possible for babysitting
responsibilities.
This course will help you understand the emotional
and developmental needs of infants, toddlers and
elementary school age children so you can give
them proper care and attention.
