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!

We pride ourselves on delivering the best training possible to all of our students which is why we are known as a leading provider of Canadian Red Cross training. Safety training for any age should be taken seriously and how we train our students reflects in their skills while providing life-saving techniques or taking care of a young child.

I had a very positive experience in this BLS course. The instructor was excellent, knowledgeable, patient, and very clear in their teaching. Teacher explained many important details that had not been properly covered in my previous classes, and they took the time to explain the reasons behind each step. That made the material much easier to understand and remember. The class was very helpful, informative, and engaging. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

Very immersive learning experience with red cross trainer Andrea. Coming from an introvert perspective who doesn't celebrate learning in group environment but I must say she had all of students in class room fully engaged and wanting to learn even tho many of us didn't enter the first Aid class room thinking we gonna learn something . It's a sign of a trainer who is extremely passionate towards her craft and career and want to genuinely make a difference in the society. A must try experience for everyone even for those who just wants to serve the community in some capacity not only for healthcare workers or ones who need first aid cpr's for thier professional job. Keep up the energy, enthusiasm and innocence behind the all these trainings which is too genuinely make our society more aware and read to help in times when other needs it 🙏thanks again for the wonderful experience during first aid cpr class

She was incredibly patient, always smiling, and explained everything in a very clear and thorough way. Her teaching style made even complex topics easy to understand, and she created a comfortable and supportive learning environment for everyone.

I truly appreciated how she took the time to answer all questions and made sure we felt confident and prepared. You can tell she really cares about her students and their learning.

Walaa was my instructor for the EFA CPRC &AED training in Mississauga. One of the best teachers I’ve had for this course. She made the material easy to digest, didn’t rush anything, her communication skills are on point even when asked questions she was able to respond and get back to the topic with minimal delay. The practical section was very comfortable. I’ve had many instructors expect the class to deliver the material or call on people constantly even when they didn’t feel comfortable while they just sat there agreeing or disagreeing which can be very overwhelming and daunting for your first time. Walaa went over everything you go over in the online section with wonderful real life examples that help you to better understand how and why you’re helping people. If I could select my instructor every 3 years I would choose her again for sure!
