If
you are going to get a babysitter, ask them if they have
completed a babysitting course. If not encourage them to
take the American Red Cross Babysitting Course.
The Red Cross Babysitting course prepares them for one of
their first jobs, babysitting.
This is an excellent course for 11 to 15 year old current
or future babysitters. Boys and girls will learn
leadership and responsible babysitting techniques.
Babysitting is a great way to earn extra money but it also takes
hard work and preparation. Topics will include supervision
of children, appropriate games and safe play, accident
prevention, First Aid, emergency actions, basic care and
feeding. Participants receive a handbook and earn an
American Red Cross certificate.
Babysitter's Training shows you how to:
Respond to emergencies
and illnesses with first aid, rescue breathing, and
other appropriate care.
Make decisions under
pressure.
Communicate with parents
to learn household rules.
