ASHI Child & Babysitting Safety

ASHI Child & Babysitting Safety with CPR/AED and Basic First Aid

What is the Child & Babysitting Safety course?

This eight-hour course by the American Safety and Health Institute gives students everything they need to know for safe and successful babysitting, from getting started with their business to relating to parents and children, from key safety and caregiving to first aid training.

Learn what things you should do to get ready for your first job, including determining what to charge, how to help parents get to know you, getting to know the family, and letting people know you are open for business.
