Babysitters Training
Today we have 10 young babysitters in training at the Grant Wood Area Chapter Red Cross in Cedar Rapids. They are attending a two-day training over their spring break. Most will use the skills they learn to help care for younger siblings or earn spending money by caring for other children on weekends or this summer. They'll learn the basics of caring for elementary age kids and younger. How to deal with temper tantrums to weather emergencies! Last year we trained 485 area babysitters!
