In-Class and Virtual Babysitting & Sibling Care with First Aid and CPR • Ages 10+

The Babysitting Course & Sibling Care with First Aid and Infant and Child CPR: AGES 10 and up

The Revamped and Revised Babysitting Course now places a stronger emphasis on First Aid skills. The Babysitting Program will prepare you to be a fantastic babysitter! Our goal is to instill in you the confidence and abilities you need to keep children safe, make good decisions, keep the kids happy, and healthy while in your care. The Babysitting training includes everything from dealing with challenging situations to leadership and professional conduct as a babysitter. Babysitting has the potential to increase and deepen the sense of responsibility that older kids have when caring for smaller youngsters.

Sibling Care: This course also covers the important step when a child starts to babysit or help look after a younger sibling, to help out mom and dad. We teach the kids how to get along with their sibling, how to keep them safe, and how to use these new skills. Having an older child babysit a younger sibling saves on daycare costs for parents, teaches the kids about responsibility and working together.
