What Every Babysitter Should Know

This award-winning course teaches the skills necessary to care for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers. It emphasizes safety, dealing with emergencies, and first aid basics. Course materials include a student activity book and a certificate of completion.
 
What Every Babysitter Should Know is the creation of a team of child care professionals and trained babysitters—St. John Ambulance instructors, veteran 16-year-old babysitters, 12-year-old rookie babysitters, and moms and dads.

The course takes 6 ½ hours and the informal sessions are designed to be entertaining and educational. Hands-on practice will help build confidence. Our great handbook makes learning fun.

Parents and caregivers are reminded that training does not "certify" any young person as ready to babysit. The readiness of individual students to take on this responsibility is ultimately the responsibility of the parent/caregiver in consultation with the young person and the parents/caregivers of the children who will be left in their care.
