This interactive course teaches topics such as first aid, self-Heimlich maneuver, reasons to call 911, fire escape plans, microwave safety and how to problem solve out-of-the-ordinary situations. A parent guide is included in the student manual, which provides helpful discussion points between parent and child. 322600 A 1-3 pm Tu|Th 6/9-6/11 322600 B 6-8 pm Tu|Th 7/7-7/9 BCCC, Level 2, Program Room B $108 R-BCCC M | $135 NR O 2 sessions BETTER BABY SITTERS | 10-14 YRS Breanna Ellis, Enriching Kidz Would your son or daughter know what to do if the child they were babysitting for started to choke? Would they know what to do if they were taking care of several children and someone came to the door? Does your child babysit younger siblings? Why not enroll your child in a Better Baby Sitters course. Students learn the responsibilities of having a job, the Rights of a Babysitter, Heimlich maneuver, CPR for a Child and Infant, Basic First Aid, Growth and Development, and appropriate toys and activities for kids. They also learn diaper changing, infant care and how to feed a toddler. The most important component of the Better Baby Sitters course is that it’s fun! Your child receives a certificate after completion of the class. Students use their own large stuffed animals and dolls if available for CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver practice. 323601 A Noon-4 pm M|W 6/15-6/17 323601 B 5-9 pm M|W 7/20-7/22 BCCC, Level 2, Program Room B $145 R-BCCC M| $174 NR O 2 sessions GAMIN’ WITH GRANDKIDS | 5-12 YRS & ADULT Recreation Staff Who is ready for some fun and games?
