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

Good Expierence
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.anna236 years agoI overall enjoyed my experience. I felt that the course was very informational and I felt much more confident about my possible upcoming babysitting jobs after taking the training course. My only complaint would be that the course was very lengthy and became boring at some times. I was expecting more hands on work. I also expected to learn CPR and that was not included. Expecting CPR training might have been a misread of mine but I was still surprised. I think the taking some of the common sense ... basic training out of the course would have been very beneficial towards me at least. In the end I was happy that I took the course.

My best experience
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Angie18084 weeks agoI started my courses and they finished them in a very short period, I loved how they added different scenarios and different answers where we could see what results they would give in the action. I am very grateful and happy to have learned many things that I did not know in this course, now I feel very full and sure of myself.
