The Wee Care Babysitter Course is about half-way done. These ladies have done an excellent job! Today they shopped at Family Dollar and made babysitter bags for themselves based upon the information about the 6 stages of play, child development, and toy safety. They worked collectively to help each other decide on purchases, and they did any excellent job of staying under a given budgeted amount. They are super shoppers, super girls, and will be Super Sitters!
