Students Give Up Vacation Time to Learn Babysitting

Whiz Kids: The recent Westborough graduates of the American Red Cross Babysitting class offered by  (WYFS) 

Accomplishments: These 11 students worked with Red Cross certified instructor and WYFS counselor Betheda Shuman for a nine-hour program that took place during April school vacation. 

Key to awesomeness: The graduates bettered themselves as caregivers by learning how to care for infants and children, be good role models, interview for jobs, solve problems and handle emergencies. 

The Youth and Family Services office runs the American Red Cross certified babysitting course several times a year. Participants must be at least 11 years old and Westborough residents. For information, call 508-366-3090 or email ccairns@town.westborough.ma.us.
