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!

Offering You the Best Training

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 great experience with the CPR & First Aid training. The instructor, Kia, was amazing. Not only did he teach us the necessary skills, but he also explained the reasoning behind each step, which made a huge difference in understanding.

The course was very instructive: it felt like a blend of human anatomy, hands-on training, and even some physics. Because of this approach, I now have a much deeper understanding of why we perform certain techniques, not just how to do them.

I feel much more confident and prepared to use these skills if needed, and I truly appreciate the quality of the training.

I had a great experience with the CPR & First Aid training. The instructor, Kia, was amazing. Not only did he teach us the necessary skills, but he also explained the reasoning behind each step, which made a huge difference in understanding.

The course was very instructive—it felt like a blend of biology, hands-on training, and even some physics. Because of this approach, I now have a much deeper understanding of why we perform certain techniques, not just how to do them.

I feel much more confident and prepared to use these skills if needed, and I truly appreciate the quality of the training.

Jan was awesome! Spent a whole day with her and she made it fun and informative. Lots of hands on learning (which in my opinion is the best way to learn) and fun games to keep everyone engaged. Coast2Coast website made it super easy to book. I didn’t recieve my online course after waiting the 24 hours, so I sent an email to customer service & they were extremely prompt to help and send it over. No complaints whatsoever! Hoping when I get my recert, I’ll have Jan again!

Thanks to the whole Coast2Coast team!

I took a First Aid course with Ali S. at the Newmarket location, and it was a great experience. He created a comfortable and welcoming environment right from the start and made the class engaging and easy to follow. The session was interactive, and all topics were explained clearly and thoroughly. Ali is a great instructor, and I would highly recommend him.

A few tips to be successful in this class: make sure you arrive on time, both at the start of the day and after breaks and lunch, as the course moves at a steady pace. Being interactive is also really important. If questions are asked, be sure to respond and participate. It not only shows engagement but also helps you better understand and apply the material. Staying focused, asking questions when you’re unsure, and actively taking part in scenarios will really help you get the most out of the course.

I just completed standard first aid with CPR/AED level C. The course itself is also very in depth, covering all topics I would expect to encounter in the office, in the field, and in day to day life. Maria is an excellent instructor, providing in depth and knowledgeable answers to all of my questions, and respectful guidance on course subject matter.

I've been with Coast2Coast for atleast 3 years now and I've had Walaa twice so far as my instructor and she is always so awesome! The layout of the course was well organized and she was very knowledgeable. She helps us understand why we're doing what we're doing with Standard First Aid and CPR vs just teaching us the tools only to pass the test.
Response from the owner:Hi Laura! We would like to thank you on behalf of our team for trusting us with your training needs. We’re happy to see that you enjoyed your recent training course with us. Emergencies can happen at any time and we’re glad you took the steps to become more prepared. We hope you learned a lot and left feeling confident in your life-saving skills. See you soon for recertification! Stay safe.

I took a First Aid course with Coast2Coast today, and honestly it was a really great experience—mostly because of our instructor, Prabh.

She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and never rushed through anything. If someone had a question, she took the time to answer it properly, which made the whole class feel a lot more comfortable. You can tell she really knows her stuff, but also cares about making sure everyone actually learns.

I also liked how hands-on and interactive the class was. It didn’t feel boring or overly serious—she kept things engaging the whole time.

Overall, I learned a lot and feel much more confident now. I’d definitely recommend taking a course with Prabh if you get the chance!

The hands-on practice was especially helpful in building confidence with CPR and AED use. The course was well-organized and very relevant for healthcare professionals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality BLS training.

A big thank you to our instructor, Edward. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and engaging throughout the session. He explained everything clearly, made the training interactive, and ensured everyone felt confident practicing the skills.
I walked away with not only valuable life-saving knowledge, but also the confidence to actually apply it in real situations. It was a very hands-on and practical learning experience, and I genuinely learned a lot of new skills. Most recommended!!
