The details

About this event

The Care Co. Babysitter Academy at Little Village is a unique opportunity for middle schoolers to gain practical babysitting skills. Over four weeks, participants will receive expert-led training in CPR, first aid, and child development, ensuring they're ready to take on real babysitting jobs. The program also includes a certificate of completion and a starter kit to kickstart their babysitting careers.

This program is more than just training; it's a community effort to connect local families with capable young babysitters. The meet-and-greet playdate is a thoughtful touch, allowing kids to build relationships with neighborhood families. It's an ideal summer activity for tweens looking to learn, grow, and earn some extra cash.
