Babysitter Training (American Red Cross)

The primary purpose of the Babysitter Training course is to provide prospective youth babysitters with the knowledge and skills necessary for safe and responsible childcare, such as diapering, bottle- and spoon-feeding, age-appropriate games, activities, and dealing with uncooperative children. This training will also help participants to develop leadership skills and become better babysitters. They will learn how to build a babysitting business, keep themselves and others safe, and learn about basic childcare and basic first aid. This training is designed for students ages 11 to 15.
