Earn your babysitting certification from the American Red Cross. Whether you're just starting out or you've cared for your siblings for years and now want to start earning money or even build a business, our programs can help. By allowing you to demonstrate your skills to the families seeking your help, a Red Cross Advanced child care certification or Babysitting certification shows parents that you take your job seriously.

Designed and taught by experts, Red Cross Babysitting certification or Advanced Child Care certification course materials are interactive, informative, and fun. Created to help you provide the best care possible, our program can help you deliver compassionate care, and learn to interact with infants and children in fun, age-appropriate ways. This way, you can build a rapport with the children you care for, learn to understand them, and tailor your care to meet the family's needs.

This in-person childcare certification course is designed for those ages 11 to 15, and builds on the skills in our Babysitting Basics class. With leadership development, information on building your business, tips for keeping children safe, helping children behave, basic first aid, and more, it's the next step in your training.

To complement our babysitting certification program, this class includes First Aid and CPR/AED certification courses. This class will help build your skills – and your resume – and help you safely care for others in times of crisis.
