They learned the qualities of a great babysitter; to ask about and follow the parent’s/guardian’s guidelines; about a safe home environment and child safety; about the ages and stages of children - infancy through school age; about age appropriate play and supervision; how to care for a child needing holding, diapering, dressing and feeding; and how to handle common injuries and emergencies. Each student received an AVH Certificate of Program Completion.
