PRIVATE IN HOME BABYSITTING COURSES

We frequently offer in-home private courses to groups of 8 or more at the cost of $70 plus tax per participant.

PD days are a great opportunity to offer this course. If you are interested in hosting a class, could you please propose a few dates that would work on your end and I will look into instructor availability. Once we have a training date determined, we will collect a deposit to secure your training event.

Feel free to touch base with any questions you may have:)
