Skills That Save

Our certification programs offer hands-on, professionally guided instruction designed to equip participants with real-world, lifesaving skills. From babysitting basics to American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification, each course is kept intentionally small to ensure every participant receives the personalized attention they deserve.

Red Cross Babysitter Training + Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED (Blended Learning)

Wednesday-Friday, July 8-10 (3 sessions)
9:30 AM – 12:00 PM | Pozez JCC
Ages: 11-16 years old (Limited to 8 participants)

This summer, give your teen the skills and confidence to care for children safely, whether helping family or beginning their own babysitting experience. This course prepares teens with essential, real-life caregiving skills.

The program includes hands-on activities, videos, and discussions designed to build confidence and readiness in caring for children and infants. Participants will learn key skills such as feeding, diapering, safely picking up and holding children, as well as safety awareness and emergency response.

We want participants to be well prepared for emergencies; however, CPR training can be physically demanding. Participants should ideally weigh at least 85–90 pounds to fully participate in this portion of the course.

Blended Learning Format
The First Aid/CPR/AED course includes:
An online learning portion (approximately 2 hours)
An instructor-led, in-person classroom skill session

The online portion must be completed prior to attending the in-person training and must be taken on a PC or tablet with a high-speed internet connection.

Certification Upon Completion

Upon successful completion of both the online and in-person portions of the course, participants will receive:
A valid 10-year Babysitter’s Training digital certification
A valid 2-year digital certification for Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED
