Whether it’s a high school student from the neighborhood or a live-in au pair, a babysitter’s responsibilities go beyond basic supervision. They should be equipped to handle emergencies, manage behavior, and ensure the child’s overall safety.
For youth aged 11–15, the American Red Cross Babysitter’s Training Course teaches participants the skills needed to provide safe and responsible care for children and infants.
This course helps participants develop leadership skills and learn the basics of childcare while effectively handling children’s behavior. It emphasizes ensuring safety for both themselves and the children and provides a foundational understanding of first aid. Additionally, participants can explore ways to start a babysitting business.

Babysitters spending extended time with children should learn child- and infant-specific CPR and more in-depth first aid. Performing CPR on children differs from adults, so understanding age-appropriate techniques is critical.
