Child & Babysitting Safety Course

**Due to Covid-19, Child And Babysitting Safety class is on hold until further notice**

The South Ogden Police and Fire Department are sponsoring a Child and Babysitting Safety program for youth, ages 11-15. This course will provide students with in-depth information from deciding if babysitting is right for you, to how to entertain and properly supervise children of all ages. Other topics include safety, feeding, how to handle emergencies, basic first aid, CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. Part of the curriculum includes training on safety practices when caring for children and first aid procedures which are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Upon completion, students will receive completion cards which are nationally recognized, along with a handbook. Students must attend both days of the two day course to receive their certificate. This free class is held each summer.
