DURHAM — The Girl Scouts of Maine is offering a “Babysitting 101” training program for all area girls in grades 5-9.
The training program is suited for any girls who are interested in becoming babysitters in the future, or to enhance existing babysitting skills and knowledge.
The program will include getting a baby-sitting business started, playtime ideas for children of all ages, understanding the likes and dislikes of children, and troubleshooting and solutions to the most common problems a baby-sitter faces.
The certification program will be held from 3:30 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 13. The cost is $6. There is an additional $15 membership fee for non-Girl Scouts. (Membership assistance is available.)
