Babysitting is not just "watching" the children, but being responsible
for their safety and well being. When you are caring for a child you
are taking care of a parent's most prized possession. Everything in
their home and your own home can be replaced -- everything, that is,
except a child. Babysitting is a big responsibility. (excerpt from ASHI
CABS student manual)
We provide this class to give the babysitter essential information
