Babysitting
Training Course

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

This Babysitting course will cover topics such as managing problematic behaviours, professionally conducting yourself as a babysitter, and learning how to run a small 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.

Coast2Coast
Babysitting Course

As a leading provider of Canadian Red Cross first aid and CPR training courses, Coast2Coast is proud to provide Youth courses as well. Babysitting is one of our two available Youth programs that we offer, providing special training to the children of our communities.

Why Youth Courses are Important

Youth courses, such as Babysitting, are great for teens to not only learn how to care for young children, but also learn amazing life-saving skills! Each of our Youth programs include basic First Aid and CPR training which is an important skill for people of all ages to learn. We believe that it is never too early to learn these skills as accidents happen to people of all ages. Help your children feel confident while taking care of a younger child. Babysitting courses will contain hands-on practice as well as a lecture to keep them engaged and help them understand how to provide necessary care for a child. Participants will practice feeding, dressing and changing diapers for children/infants and learn how to provide CPR, handle nosebleeds, splinters, breathing emergencies and more!

Exceptional Instruction!
I cannot recommend this CPR course enough. It was, without a doubt, the best in-person learning experience I’ve had with any instructor. The level of care and expertise brought to the class was unmatched. I walked away not only with a certification but with the genuine confidence to help in an emergency. Heartfelt thanks to the instructor for such an incredible session!
Endless gratitude!

There is a reason I got this score at BLS Training today and it was because it has been the most informative, interactive, real life situational and memorable training I’ve ever experienced in my 9 years of needing BLS training. Walaa was an amazing instructor who not only knew her stuff but was very passionate about what she was teaching which made it more engaging to learn. I left feeling more prepared than ever before. Thanks Walaa! I hope I don’t have to use any of the training but should I need to I feel more confident in what to do all thanks to you!

Did my first BLS certification here with the instructor, Hetal Patel. She was fantastic and covered everything we needed to know without reading the textbook prior. Loved how she engaged the class and kept us focused throughout this 4-hour class. Well-blended theoretical knowledge and practice. Passed the exam with one stroke. The atmosphere of the class was also great, collaborative and professional. Loved it, thank you!

had a great experience as a student in JOYAL’s first aid course. He is a very knowledgeable and supportive instructor who explains everything clearly and patiently. He made the class engaging and easy to follow, even for beginners.

JOYAL encouraged questions and ensured that every student understood the techniques properly through hands-on practice. His friendly and professional approach created a comfortable learning environment.

I feel much more confident in my first aid skills thanks to his teaching. Highly recommend JOYAL as an instructor—definitely a 5-star experience!

I had a very positive experience with my instructor. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed. One thing I really appreciated was his ability to explain complex topics in a clear and simple way, making it easier to understand and apply what we learned.

He created a supportive and respectful learning environment where questions were encouraged, and everyone felt comfortable participating. His teaching style is engaging, and he often used real-life examples that made the lessons more practical and meaningful.

I also admired his professionalism and organization. He is always prepared, provided clear instructions, and gave helpful feedback that helped me improve. Overall, this instructor (JOYAL) made the learning experience enjoyable and motivating, and I feel more confident in my skills because of his guidance.
