Babysitting Basics


Youth / Youth Courses -
Fall 2024

Course Description:

The Babysitting Basics course from the American Red Cross gives participants a foundation on which to build a babysitting business. Designed for new babysitters, this course delivers information clearly, concisely and interactively – and it's the perfect way for young people to learn about all of the responsibilities that come with the job. The Babysitting Basics class covers a wide range of information that can help new babysitters gain the skills and confidence needed to care for infants and children. The course includes information on:

  • How to care for infants and children
  • What to do in an emergency and how to stay safe
  • Choosing activities that are age appropriate
  • Recognizing, understanding and handling certain behaviors
  • Starting your babysitting business
  • Safely preparing a healthy snack

The Babysitting Basics course culminates with a final exam. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate that they can share with potential employers.

Logistics:

  • Participants should bring a sack lunch, a snack if needed, and a labelled water bottle
  • Participants will receive their Babysitting Basics certificate via email from the American Red Cross following the class
