(Snow date 3/15/25)

This course is available to youth ages 11 and older. Attendees will be introduced to the world of babysitting by learning about the responsibilities of the sitter as well as of the parents of the children they are sitting for, emergencies and safety, infant care, playing and how to secure a babysitting job. There will be a simple true/false test given at the end of the class. All participants will receive a certificate of completion.

Pizza lunch will be served. Not a pizza fan? Feel free to bring a nut-free, alternative lunch.
Please remember a notebook, snacks and a drink. Presented by Denise Schirmer.

I have been certified to teach this class since 1980. For many years I was the Assistant Superintendent of a Parks and Recreation Department for the Town of Somers, and for several years I was a substitute teacher in the Rombout Middle School in the City of Beacon. Over the years I have taught this class in numerous libraries and recreation departments as well as to many Girl Scout Troops. I am married, the mother of a grown adult married daughter and a grandmother of a 5-year-old.
