Babysitters Training Course

The Babysitters Training Course is one of Canada Safety Council’s longest running programs. The course is an ideal community project, which can help prevent injuries and promote the responsible management of common situations that may arise while children are under the care of babysitters. 

Students of this course must be at least 12 years old or turning 12 within the calendar year. The program enables the students to demonstrate their capabilities and maturity by completing the course under the responsible direction of the instructor. The Canada Safety Council recommends that the Babysitter Training Course be supplemented with First Aid and CPR training. OVERhang will provide the training to students including basic First Aid training. 

Students must attend all sessions and establish a passing grade of 75 per cent on the final examination in order to receive their certificate.

The course material covers such topics as:

• Becoming a successful babysitter
• Caring for children from three months to school-aged
• The behaviour and misbehaviour of children
• Handling Emergencies
• Caring for a sick or injured child
• Prevention and basic First Aid

Course Cost: $85+GST per student

Courses need a minimum of 6 students to run. The class may be rescheduled if they don't meet the minimum requirements. You will be notified ahead of time if the course is cancelled.
