The Hartsdale Fire District is proud to announce our 52nd Annual Babysitters Course to anyone twelve years of age or older who has not taken this course before.

This valuable course is offered every year as a service to our residents and neighbors. It provides the basic training necessary to become competent qualified babysitters. As a babysitter, you are responsible for the care and safety of our youth. Regardless of your age, you are performing a valuable and needed service for which you can be justly proud. We want you and the children you are caring for to feel secure while you are babysitting.

The 7-night course will be given at Hartsdale Fire HQs located at 300 West Hartsdale
Ave from 7 to 9 PM on Tuesday and Thursday evenings beginning Tuesday September 24th thru Thursday October 17th (or the 24th due to several scheduling conflicts).

The instructors for the Babysitters Course include a Neo-Natal Nurse, a GPD Police Officer, a Paramedic, and Fire Dept. Training Instructors. Classroom lectures are combined with instructor demonstrations and visual media. Students will also learn skills and participate in hands-on classes such as Stop the Bleed, Rescue Breathing, CPR w/ AED, Infant Care, Fire Extinguishers, and much more. All students receive a Babysitter Course handbook and supplemental literature.

Early registration is necessary. The class is limited to 35 students with Hartsdale residents receiving priority. Those accepted into the class will be contacted by phone or email.

At the completion of this course, a listing of Babysitter Course Graduates, who grant us permission to use their name, will be made available to the public by the Hartsdale Fire District. This is done as a public service to those who are seeking the services of a qualified and responsible babysitter.
