I am not old enough to be a babysitter yet I need to wait a year or two but this app has taught me so much information for emergencies or just daily tasks that the client might want you to do and the tests help so much I feel like babysitters should definitely have this even if they know this stuff because they can review but it also has quick access to 911 and it can help you keep track of who your babysitting it can help you remember any food allergies or other special information I highly recommend for kids interested in babysitting and babysitters who already babysit 👍
Exceptional Child Care App!

This a has been a game changer for our family! My two teenage daughters have the Red Cross Child Care app downloaded on their devices since it’s easy for them to learn and access quickly when they need a refresher. Highly recommend!

What a great app for all ages of caregivers! Loved the quizzes to test and validate knowledge. Super fun badges that supported healthy competition between my teen boys.
