East Northport Middle School 6th grade students recently learned to care for infants in Mr. Robert’s family and consumer science class. During this babysitting unit, students were taught how to perform tasks including to change a baby's diaper, how to feed and burp the child, and more. Students also learned important pieces of information for the child’s safety, such as why it’s necessary to support a newborn’s head and neck.

The unit culminated with the students creating tri-fold brochure which advertises what they learned, and why they would make a great babysitter.
