Babysitter Training AcademyPresentation

• Hello!
• The next 17 slides will introduce you to the
  American Red Cross Babysitters Training Course.
• As a mother and school teacher, I am very
  passionate about teaching youth how to be safe
  and responsible babysitters in the absence of an
  adult.
• Please save this and pass it on to any youth
  group leader whose group can benefit from this
  course such as churches, schools, girls scouts,
  4-H, parks, summer camps, etc.
• This presentation has sound when viewed as a
  slide show.
• Thank You!
• Shujuan Shannon, Instructor

Babysitters Training

• Course Participants
• Males and females
• At least age 11. Most states require children to
  be age 11 before they can be left alone for short
  periods of time without adult supervision.
• According to the Georgia Department of Human
  Services
• Parents should carefully weigh their options
  before leaving children home alone this summer.
  Children age 13 and older generally can be left
  home alone, but shouldnt be left home overnight.
  Children under 8 years of age, however, should
  never be left home alone even for short periods
  of time. Parents must assess the maturity and
  responsibility of their children before deciding
  whether or not to leave a child alone.
