ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Serving Eastern & Central Massachusetts and other locations within New England, Debbie LaFlamme is a licensed day care provider in Massachusetts. With her degree in Early Childhood Education, she has over 20 years of experience in caring for children of all ages in her home. About ten years ago, she created the Babysitters Training Course and has since expanded her course to Home Alone Safety and Counselors-In-Training. In the past 5 years, her courses have grown tremendously and are now being offered to many local schools, church groups, and community organizations.

Nonprofit organizations have earned thousands of dollars by offering Ms. LaFlamme's training courses as fundraisers. Many others use them as Enrichment Programs for their organizations.



TYPICAL FEEDBACK RECEIVED ABOUT THESE WORKSHOPS...

"...the babysitting course I had taken my 6th graders to this past Sunday was FANTASTIC! The girls felt that they really got more at this session than they have from other babysitting courses they have taken at their schools or hospitals. Debra LaFlamme was a great presenter and the girls were engrossed in every word she said. I highly recommend this course to continue to be offered. The girls as well as my other 2 volunteers were impressed with presentation and how she kept the girls entertained with her stories that related to babysitting do’s and don’t's."
(Melissa, Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts)
