Are you thinking about babysitting this summer or staying home alone to watch your younger brother or sister? What do you do if your little brother starts choking on a toy he was chewing on?  How do you help your little sister if she falls and hurts her ankle while playing outside?  How are you going to get the kids to listen to you?  

These are normal questions for anyone who is going to start babysitting for the first time.  Babysitting is a big responsibility and we want to help you prepare.  Sign up for one of our programs to get certification in babysitting, CPR and first aid from the American Red Cross.
