This program is an informative and entertaining guided tour through the world of babysitting. Sitters of all ages learn basic and advanced techniques in home child care. Presented in an upbeat, modern style, viewers watch as four young women discuss their experiences and provide answers for many of the most often asked babysitting questions. This program prepares young adults to be responsible and capable of handing child safety while being able to handle most emergency situations. Inventive dramatizations illustrate key points as the video explores the various responsibilities of a reliable babysitter. Topics covered include discussions of safety issues, first aid and emergency response, feeding and dietary guidelines, diaper changing and hygiene, fun activities for all ages, and bathtime and bedtime. While some may think babysitting is just for fun, this program emphasizes that one should take the responsibility given to them and treat it as a serious job.
