Child & Babysitting Safety
The Child and Babysitting Safety (CABS) program from HSI gives teenagers and young adults everything they need to know for safe and successful babysitting. From getting started with their business, to dealing with parents and children, to key safety, caregiving, and first aid tips, the magazine-format CABS guide and vlogger-style video make learning fun.
CABS is perfect for tweens & teens age 11 - 15 who are interested in a babysitting business, or who have responsibility for younger family members.
There are NO prerequisites, however CPR/AED and Basic First Aid certification is strongly recommended.
