Babysitting Class completed

Alyssa has had 10 babysitting opportunities now, netting $120 , but I felt it was important for her to attend an official class. She completed the Better Babysitters Class. Now, she will take CPR/SAFETY on 3/13.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Surprised there were 5 young boys in the class with 15 girls.
Alyssa learned about cloth diapers. She never knew they existed. FUNNY.
Most importantly, NEVER SHAKE A BABY or you can cause brain damage.
Never walk away from a baby in a bathtub.
Don't yell at the kids, be kind.
Give options to kids such as, "you want to wear your red coat or your blue coat" as opposed to "do you want to wear your coat?"
If they don't want to brush their teeth, try to use fun methods to get them to want to such as, "race you to the bathroom".
