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.

I took Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C course and really enjoyed it. My instructor, Ahmed Elsaid, did an excellent job. The class was very dynamic, clear, and concise. It never felt boring; on the contrary, he kept me engaged the entire time and explained everything in a very easy-to-understand way. I would definitely recommend it.

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.

The course was really informative and straight forward. The format of the online portion made progression easy, and our instructor, Joyal, was very friendly and made the information easier to digest! He gave great tips, and took the time to make sure everyone understood the key concepts from both the practical and online segments.

My instructor, Ashraf, was fantastic! He was friendly and fun, while also being very thorough in his explanations, but didn’t go into unnecessary detail - a hard balance to strike! I took Standard First Aid with CPR/AED. There was an online self-directed portion, and then an in-person portion with Ashraf. The in-person portion was very hands-on, with the majority of the day spent in skills practice and simulation. I would definitely recommend this trainer and facility to anyone looking for First Aid training!

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
