Red Cross Authorized

First of all, we are a fully authorized Canadian Red Cross training centre. Because of this, your child's babysitting certificate is nationally recognized and accepted by families across Ontario and Canada.

πŸ“

Central Mississauga Location

Our training centre is centrally located in Mississauga, so it's easy to reach from the 401 and 403. Also, free parking is available on-site for parents and youth attending the course.

πŸ‘Ά

All Ages of Children Covered

Students learn to care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, as well as school-aged children. In other words, they cover the full range of kids they'll actually encounter on a real babysitting job.

πŸ«€

Hands-on First Aid Practice

To begin with, youth practice real first aid and CPR skills on manikins in small-class settings. Moreover, they repeat every skill until they feel genuinely confident. Consequently, they're competent in practice, not just on paper.

πŸ“„

Same-Day Digital Certificate

Your child's Canadian Red Cross Babysitter digital certificate is issued on the day of the course, so it's ready to show prospective clients right away.

🌟

Leadership & Life Skills

Beyond child care, students also develop communication, decision-making, and responsibility skills. As a result, they're better prepared for every part of adult life, not just babysitting.
