Certified Babysitter!
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Aidyleeandme6 years agoI really enjoyed this class, and especially liked that there were only 3 kids in the class when she took it. She learned a lot and can't stop talking about it. A note from her parent: * Offer the class more often and not only on Mother's Day or Memorial Day Weekend * Send a reminder email and send out the class information ahead of time, NOT handed to you at the door when you walk in - There was pertinent information on that form that we should have had before arriving at the class

I LOVED This Class!
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.bigbutterfly1 month agoThis class was amazing! I got to learn a lot of different things I hadn't learned before, like cpr, resume writing, and childcare tips. I got to meet other people in the class. The instructor was very nice and made the class interesting. It was a long day, but worth the time. The only thing I would I change would be to shorten reading from the book and add more activity.
