Babysitting course for Wokingham teens
Young Wokingham people, aged between 13 and 19 years, will soon have the opportunity to take a crash-course in babysitting. A variety of similar courses have already taken place across the Wokingham Borough and have become so popular that Earley Centrepoint Youth Centre is running a week-long babysitting course during the school summer holidays.
The Wokingham courses are accredited and youngsters will receive certificates on completion, which can be invaluable in securing part-time jobs. The accreditation can also count towards the nationally recognised youth achievement awards.
The sessions aim to teach teenagers basic skills in childcare, including safe play, paediatric first aid and health and safety in the home. And hands-on experience is provided through the use of virtual reality babies.
The course will be taking place at Earley Centrepoint Youth Centre from Monday August 13 to Friday August 17 between 10am and 2.30pm, at a cost of £20 per person.
Places are filling fast, so anyone wishing to take part should contact Rachael Robinson, senior youth worker on (0118) 931 2951.
