New Babysitting Basics Online Course Now Available

PHSS is pleased to announce the launch of the new Babysitting Basics online course. This four-hour course is based on the existing Babysitter’s Training course, minus the hands-on practice and detailed first aid content.

We are launching this online course as an option for students ages 11 and up who do not live in an area where Babysitter’s Training is offered or who prefer to complete a course on their own time. We continue to support Babysitter’s Training, and the following chart illustrates the added benefits of taking the classroom course:
