This course is designed to familiarize teens with the responsibilities of babysitting and also teach skills and techniques needed for sitters to become competent and caring. Students will receive training materials, a certificate of completion and a wallet size babysitting course card. Students are also placed on the garrison-wide babysitting referral list so that parents requesting a babysitter from the CYS Services referral list can feel comfortable knowing that their babysitters are adequately trained to CYS Services standards. Garrison policy encourages that all youth 11 years old and older pass a certified babysitting course to watch their siblings.

Youth 13 years old and older are encouraged to pass a certified babysitting course and CPR/First Aid class to babysit non-family members.
