IIKELC is proud to consistently offer the Babysitter Training Program for youth who have an interest in caring for children, learning First Aid, and becoming a responsible leader. At the end of this training, the youth will receive a certificate. During a Babysitter Training Program in 2021, youth in Iqaluit drew what they think a babysitter should be like as an activity in the program.
