Training Description

The Canadian Red Cross Babysitting refreshed and revised, now has a greater emphasis on First Aid skills. Babysitting promises to deepen and enhance the responsibility that older youth feel when caring for younger children. This updated curriculum, complete with new science, also provides improved learning when it comes to giving the appropriate care in the event of an emergency.

Course Content

  • First Aid Content:
    • Check, Call, Care (includes phoning EMS/911), glove removal, recovery position, conscious choking (adult/child/baby/alone), CPR (baby/child), illness, asthma (includes use of inhaler and spacer), anaphylaxis (includes use of EpiPen), poisoning, insect stings, wound care (i.e. minor cuts and scrapes, splinters, nosebleeds, bumps and bruises, life-threatening bleeding, burns), head, neck and back injuries, broken bones, seizures

A pizza lunch is provided, we strongly encourage parents to pack nut free snacks for their child. The manual, pizza lunch, and a drink are included. If your child has dietary restrictions, we understand and kindly ask that you bring your own lunch to ensure the dietary needs are met.

We strongly encourage you to start arriving for pick up around 3:30 pm. At the end of the day, we want to ensure participants are leaving with a parent or pre-arranged pick up person. It helps to organize the end of the day if parents start arriving by 3:30 pm, as it prevents waiting in line at the end of the day.

For ages 11-14

***Please note: There will be a $5 administrative fee for ALL refunds.***

**Price Increases July 1, 2025 to $70**
