Babysitting requires the skills of someone who's responsible, mindful, and understands how to take care of children. And unless you know your babysitter very well, odds are good that gauging these traits won't be easy from a simple interview or two. That's why it's important to look for someone who has gone through formal babysitting training in North Dakota. This way, you can review the course provider's syllabus, talk to your prospective babysitter about any safety, emergency, or first aid/CPR/AED skills, and understand their level of commitment. Of course, holding a babysitting certification isn't a guarantee that a candidate is the right fit for the job, but it does show that the he or she takes the job seriously.

American Red Cross programs, including all of our North Dakota babysitting training classes, are based on the latest science, standards and regulations. Courses are developed by experts in the field and overseen by The American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council – panel of more than 50 nationally recognized experts drawn from a wide variety of scientific, medical, and academic disciplines. With their guidance, we're able to ensure that Red Cross practices and recommendations align with the latest evidence-based knowledge in science and medicine. This allows all of our babysitting course participants to become well informed and well prepared to deliver quality care.
