Infant Childcare

Confident. Credentialed. Concerning.

Tuition: $5,200 or 24 easy payments of $236.

A twelve-week program in the care and supervision of human infants aged 0-12 months. Students graduate qualified to handle feedings, diaper changes, and 'tummy time,' though 'tummy time' may take on a different meaning.

Whiskerworks provides a certificate. We do not provide liability insurance. Parents should make their own arrangements.

What You'll Learn

  • Prepare a bottle at the correct temperature (warm, not 'cat tongue' warm)
  • Change a diaper without wearing the diaper
  • Execute a successful burp, with pats, not claws
  • Read 'Goodnight Moon' in a soothing meow
  • Recognize hunger cries, tired cries, and 'the cat is in the crib' cries
  • Not sit on the baby

Program Syllabus

Week 1
The Human Infant

It is loud. It is damp. It is yours.

Week 2
Feeding

Bottle prep, formula ratios, and the correct time to burp.

Week 3
Diapering

Tabs, rashes, wipes. You learn, or the baby does.

Week 4
Sleep

Theirs is important. So is yours. Good luck.

Week 5
Tummy Time

Baby on belly. Not your belly.

Week 6
Emergency Response

You will not call 911. You will meow until the human comes.
