When parents hire a young babysitter, they want someone who can do more than keep the kids entertained. They want someone who can recognize a problem, stay calm, and know what to do next.
That’s exactly what our Babysitter Safety Certification Course is designed to teach.
This comprehensive program through the Health & Safety Institute (HSI) combines online learning with hands-on instruction so students can practice the skills they may actually need while caring for children.
Students will practice skills for:
CPR for infants, children, and adults
Pediatric first aid and common childhood injuries
Choking and other life-threatening emergencies
Allergic reactions, illness, and unexpected situations
Safe supervision and injury prevention
Communicating with parents and making responsible decisions
How the course works
Step 1: Complete 6.5 hours of self-paced online learning
Step 2: Attend a 3.5-hour, instructor-led hands-on skills session
Step 3: Earn a 2-year certification
A good fit for:
✔ Teens getting ready for their first babysitting jobs
✔ Young babysitters who want to build their skills (11+)
✔ Older siblings who regularly care for younger children
✔ Parents who want their babysitter to be better prepared
Course investment: $99
If babysitting is on your 11+ child’s list of things to do this year, now is a good time to get them trained.
Our next session is coming up soon, and space is limited.
CHARDON: Saturday, August 15th 1:30-5:00
WILLOUGHBY: Sunday, August 30th 1:00-4:30
Because when you're responsible for someone else's children, knowing what to do matters.
Forward this to a current or future babysitter who needs these skills.
