The American Red Cross is the nation’s leader in babysitting classes and child care training – and will prepare you to become one of the most capable, trusted and confident caregivers in your community. In fact, 8 in 10 surveyed parents said they would pay more for a trained babysitter who holds Red Cross babysitting certifications. You can also opt to get certified in First Aid and CPR/AED, and add even more value to your clients.
Red Cross babysitting and child care courses can help you provide quality care to children of all ages. Developed by experts in the industry , our online and in-person courses are available to those ages 11 and older, and include topics such as choosing age-appropriate activities, basic child care, like feeding, child behavior, diapering, picking up a child safely, and more. Please note: Red Cross child care courses are not intended for those seeking certification for state-licensed child care providers and does not meet all state requirements for such certification.
Once your Red Cross babysitting and child care training is complete, you'll still have access to all of your course materials, including your Babysitter's Training Handbook on the Red Cross Learning Center. You can download them onto your mobile device or computer. You'll never be without the information you need to provide families with quality care.
This course was purchased this month, in hope of helping me prepare for babysitting. I have taken an interest in babysitting and this course helped me brush up on the basics. It helped me learn a few new pieces of information as well. The course was great, overall. I would recommend it to people new to babysitting.
