American Red Cross Babysitter's Training Handbook March 31, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

If I had to choose ONE book for a babysitter to carry with them to the job in their backpack, this would be the one! It is a great how-to book written for your teen who babysits in private homes for pay.pHere are a few of the great subjets covered (color-coded with Icons): Getting Off to the Right Start with Professional Behavior; Good Business Practices; Babysitter's Self-Assessment Tool; How to Prepare a Resume for Prospective Employers; Interviewing Parents or Guardians and Assessing the Job; Interviewing Tips; Household Rules and Discipline; Safety and Play; Basic Care (diapering, bottle feeding, spoon feeding, burping, bathing...); Telephone Safety Tips; Tips for Preventing Emergencies; Special Concerns (personal safety, suspected child abuse...); Self-Evaluation After the Job; Leadership in Babysitting; Ages and Stages of Infants Through Teens; Being a Good Communicator with Children; Helping Children to Behave; Correcting the Behavior Without Criticizing the Child... First Aid and Airway Management (simplified for the Babysitter); When to Call 911... and the list of topics goes on and on... all in 161 pages in a 6" x 9" plastic-coated paperback book!pThere are other "how-to manuals" out there, but this one was compiled by the American Red Cross, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission; Boys and Girls Clubs of America; Boy Scouts of America; 4-H Clubs; Girl Scouts of America; JCC Association; and the YMCA. This is the latest edition, which includes simplified airway methods stipulated in the Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC) 2000 Guidelines.pThis is a great book for the money, and it's right on target with colors, pictures, icons, and indexes that are easy for teens to use in emergencies.
