Canadian Red Cross Babysitting Course
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.

A pizza lunch is provided, we strongly encourage parents to pack nut free snacks for their child.
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
