Happy 2025 to all my amazing parents of Home Alone Safety and Babysitter Training! It's hard to believe that its been over 10 years since the creation of this page and we have over 2.5K followers. As the sole proprietor and safety instructor, it is time for me to reduce my workload, and I will be ceasing both children's courses this year (most likely by the end of July). I'm hoping that some of my followers may be interested in taking over this part of my business. It's fun, interesting and a great part time job for someone who likes kids. I'm happy to meet up anytime that works to show you what I do and how I do it! Please text me (Colleen Cameron) at 613 498 4415 and let's talk!
