Family Magazine reports that 76% of middle school age youth are babysitting either family members or other’s children. According to a new American Red Cross poll, parents say that good babysitters are hard to find and they want to entrust their children to babysitters trained in first aid, CPR and childcare skills. Childcare training provides life skills in parenting. Babysitting is often a youth’s first gainful employment experience. The Henderson County Cooperative Extension Service 4-H and FCS program offered a two-day babysitting clinic the first two days of summer break for middle school and high school students. The 4-H program created the recruitment flyer that was shared across Facebook, 146 times, reaching 12, 903 people, with 22 comments.
