Finding Safe Summer Sitters

Summer break is here, and parents are racing to find safe, reliable childcare — but with social media full of questionable ads, it’s easier said than done.

Don’t forget emotional maturity — you need someone who can handle tantrums. The American Red Cross offers courses for kids as young as 11, and Charlotte Aquatic Center is hosting in-person classes for ages 12+ from June 15–18.
