Babysitter's Training

Why the American Red Cross Babysitter's Training Course is Worth Your Time

If you're looking for a summer job or just want to be prepared for when your little sisters or brothers start asking you to watch them, then the American Red Cross Babysitter's Training course is perfect for you. I took the course myself last summer and it was a great experience. Not only did I feel more confident in my abilities as a babysitter, but I also learned a lot of valuable information that I can use even when I'm not babysitting.


What You'll Learn in the Course

The American Red Cross Babysitter's Training course is divided into three units: Professionalism, Child Care Basics, and First Aid & Safety. In the Professionalism unit, you'll learn how to project a positive image to parents, how to interview for babysitting jobs, and how to handle bedtime routines and behavioral issues. The Child Care Basics unit will teach you how to care for infants and toddlers, how to entertain children of all ages, and how to keep them safe both inside and outside the home. Finally, in the First Aid & Safety unit, you'll learn how to respond to common injuries and illnesses, how to administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to infants, children, and adults, and how to create an emergency plan in case of fires or severe weather.

The American Red Cross Babysitter's Training course is a great way to learn new skills and become more confident in your ability to care for children. Not only will you feel better prepared the next time you're asked to babysit, but you'll also have peace of mind knowing that you have the skills necessary to handle common injuries and illnesses.
