Red Cross

Babysitting Courses Toronto

Attention all teens – want to have fun AND make money, too?  Want to be independent and have your own small business?  Then our Red Cross Babysitting class is for you! This  Babysitting class is for students 11 – 15 years of age who want to learn how to safely babysit infants and young children. The class includes basic safety procedures, supervision and avoidance of injury. The class also includes diapering, feeding and appropriate games for young children.

The fee is $60.00 per student.  The fee includes all taxes, textbook, card of completion and other materials. Courses are typically held at Toronto District Library locations – please see our list of courses and our Locations page for other details. Students should bring paper, pen, lunch ( NUT-FREE.)  The usual class time frame is 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.,  however our class at Palmerston Library on Friday March 17 will run 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Please note that libraries will not open early, so it will take us a few minutes to get into our classroom. Notices will be posted near the main doors indicating the room number.

Parents and guardians please note – if your student is allowed out of the building alone for any reason e.g. to buy lunch in the area, or to leave alone at the end of the day, then we will require your written permission to that effect. We look forward to seeing all our future babysitters at a class!! PLEASE NOTE  that our class at the Dawes Road Library on April 29th has been cancelled, but more classes will be added!!
