Nine new babysitters in Warendorf: relief for families guaranteed!
The need for qualified childcare workers is high in Cologne, and parents appreciate it when young people acquire the necessary skills through special courses. A four-day babysitting course recently took place in the Warendorf family's home, in which nine committed young people took part. The course leaders, Sabine Erfmann and Annika Wester, not only taught the participants the basics of infant and toddler care, but also useful tips for age-appropriate game ideas and creative employment opportunities for children aged zero to ten. This meant that the prospective babysitters were well prepared for the challenges of everyday life, like this Spökenkieker reported.
A particularly important part of the course was first aid for children. The participants learned how to act correctly in the event of small accidents, insect bites and emergencies. The legal basis of babysitting was also discussed so that prospective babysitters can have comprehensive knowledge of supervision obligations and insurance. After successful completion, the participants received a certificate documenting their newly acquired skills.
First aid for parents and carers
The Johanniter offers similar courses that are specifically tailored to the needs of parents, grandparents and carers. During these first aid courses, participants not only learn how to act correctly in emergency situations, but also how to identify and minimize sources of danger for small children. Course content includes, among other things, dealing with breathing disorders, resuscitation and preventative measures such as Johanniter emphasize.
The courses are designed to reduce fears and increase the feeling of security in critical situations. For around 65 euros, those interested can acquire important knowledge that can save lives in an emergency. It is recommended that you take these courses every two to three years in order to be well prepared at all times.
Child care and modern challenges
But it's not just first aid courses that play a role when it comes to the qualifications of young babysitters. The DRK offers comprehensive training as part of the “Fit for Babysitting” program. This lasts a total of 16 hours and covers topics such as legal issues, healthy nutrition and play education. Young people are not only given the necessary specialist knowledge, but are also given the opportunity to get involved socially and perhaps even earn a little pocket money, as the information from DRK welfare show.
The training is intended to sensitize young people to take responsibility and learn how to interact safely with children. After successful completion, they are able to offer babysitting courses independently and thus pass on their knowledge to others.
Overall, it shows that there is a strong interest in well-trained babysitters in Cologne. With courses that offer practical content and increase safety in childcare, both families and young people are on the right track.
