Virtual Babysitting Course

Virtual Youth Courses - Babysitting

At Coast2Coast, we offer the Canadian Red Cross Babysitting course. This course has been revised and updated with a greater focus on specifically caring for younger children regularly and during emergency situations. This is a Red Cross approved course which emphasizes First Aid and CPR skills for infants and children.

This Babysitting course will cover topics such as managing problematic behaviours, how to professionally conduct yourself as a babysitter, and learning how to run a small babysitting business. Our Babysitting program promises to deepen and enhance the responsibility that older youth feel when caring for younger children. At Coast2Coast, we believe this amazing babysitting course is for any pre-teen or teen looking to care for children of all ages.
