American Red Cross Babysitting Class
Are your children babysitting after school or in charge of their younger siblings for any length of time? Would they know what to do in an emergency? We need to make sure our kids know what to do to keep themselves safe along with their siblings wherever they may be.
If your child is 11 years of age or older, please consider having them take the American Red Cross Babysitting Class held at Worth Township. Participants will learn how to stay safe, what to do in an emergency, how to recognize and oversee a variety of behaviors and how to start and manage their babysitting business including writing their own resume. Babysitters will be trained and certified in American Red Cross Pediatric CPR and Pediatric First Aid.
Classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays for three weeks for a total of twelve classroom hours. Participants must attend each class to be eligible for certification.
If you have any questions, please call the Worth Township Youth Commission Office’s direct line at

Participants who attend all classes and meet all class requirements will be American Red Cross Certified in Babysitting, Pediatric CPR and Pediatric First Aid. Most importantly, their new knowledge and skills will make them a more confident babysitter. Must have a minimum of 5 participants to hold class.
