Babysitter's Training

Length: 6 hours 18 minutes. Course Fee: $75 

If you're 11 to 17 years old, you can get the knowledge, skills and confidence to care for infants and school-age children. Babysitting is often the first job a young adult will hold - and with the Red Cross you'll be the best babysitter on the block.

Through hands-on activities, interactive video and lively discussions, the course teaches you how to--

• Care for children and infants
• Be a good leader and role model
• Make good decisions and solve problems
• Keep children you babysit and yourself safe
• Handle emergencies such as injuries, illnesses and household accidents
• Write resumes and interview for jobs
• And so much more

At your babysitter's Training class, you'll receive excellent materials to help you be prepared and professional, including:

• Babysitter's Training Handbook: full-color handbook filled with great information and resources to use in class and on the job.
• Babysitter's Training Emergency Reference Guide:  this easy to carry, compact booklet provides step-by-step instructions to handle common emergencies.
• Babysitter's Training CD-ROM: provides tools to run your babysitting business, including a babysitting organizer; a printable activity booklet with games, crafts, songs and recipes; a resume template; and more.
