Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Well yes it is good to know. If your gonna babysit for people you already know then they normally dont care because they trust you, but if you are going for random jobs then it is better to know cause you are more likely to get hired.

You have better chances if you take the classes and are certified.
but it's not required.
your parents just want you to know what to do incase of an emergency, and what to do the correct way.

No, you're not REQUIRED to take a class or anything, but it's a really good idea, because what if the child accidentally swallows something, and you don't know what to do? It's just a good thing to know incase a situation comes up while you're watching the kid.
Also, you'll probably get more babysitting jobs, because parents'll feel comfortable knowing their kids in safe hands with someone whose learned this and knows what they're doing, unlike most girls who babysit and have never taken a class or anything.
I hope I helped.

You don't HAVE to take it, but it would probably be a good idea to take that class. A lot of parents will pay you more money if you did take that course. Also, a lot of parents would know their children were in good hands if you took this course. Because you never know what could happen if you're babysitting younger kids. They may choke on something and it'll be better to know what to do, than to not know what to do. It's also a good thing to have under your belt in every day life. I know I took a babysitting course and a CPR course; my mom made me take it when I was younger. But now, I realize that it's a great thing to know how to do, especially if anything every happens. So I suggest to just take the course, it would be good to have.

You don't need to take it, but it would be a really good idea. You have to know what to do when a child is hurt, burnt, anything like that. It's not required but when you babysit, the parent's would feel a lot better if you knew more about what to do in those situation and they could even pay you more.

to tell you the truth. its a good idea. you never know you can turn ur head and the next second the kid could be choking and you will no nothing to do. your probably thinking wats the chance a kid will choke but its possible

Is it required by law? No.
Is it worth it? Yes.
Could you get paid more? Yes.
Could you save lives? Yes.

Well i dont think the parents would expect you to know that or anything..
But it's a great idea to know how.
It would come in handy so I guess if you want the money you would take the class.

its a good idea. Red Cross has a babysitting class. i took it, it dosent cost alot. i took it, and im a certified babysitter. and because im certified i get 10 bucks an hour. which is alot for baby sitting. a uncertified baby sitter gets only 4 to 6 bucks a hours. but its not nessacary. hope i helped.
