There’s a whole new crop of qualified babysitters for the Crystal Falls community after this terrific group of young ladies took part in the Northern Lights YMCA babysitter’s training course today!

This course teaches students the knowledge and skills necessary to responsibly care for children and infants in and outside of the home. This includes training in leadership, child behavior and discipline, professionalism, safety, basic childcare (bottle feeding, holding, etc.) Students learn life-saving skills such as how to rescue someone who is choking, and helpful information like what to do if there is severe weather. The lessons are filled with fun activities and role-playing exercises.

If you’d like information on the YMCA’s next babysitting course, please watch our website for updates or call 774-4076 to be added to an interest list. ... See MoreSee Less
