Babysitting
This project curriculum familiarizes teens with the responsibilities of babysitting and provides the necessary information for them to become capable, caring, trustworthy and competent sitters. They will learn how to keep children safe and happy, talk with parents and adults, make responsible decisions and handle emergencies. Youth will also engage in hands-on activities, learn from guest speakers, do role plays, use their creativity and have fun while learning.
It may take three years to complete a level. You must complete a minimum of seven activities and five learning experiences each year to complete this project.
Projects to learn
This project is self-paced to learn at your own pace. There are no “levels” in this project and you can re-enroll as often as you would like.

Non-Animal Record Books
A Project/Financial Journal is needed for each non-animal related project. Project journals need to contain the name of the project, the year these records were kept, and a leader/parent signature. All sections of the journal need to be completed. If nothing was done in an area or section of a record sheet, the word “none” or something similar should be written.
