The American Red Cross offers three types of New Jersey babysitting classes.

All of our New Jersey babysitting classes culminate with certification exams that allow you to prove your skills.

At the Red Cross we provide those ages 11 and older with a comprehensive education in babysitting and child care best practices. However, it's important to note that none of our babysitting classes in New Jersey are intended for state-licensed child care providers, as our courses do not meet all of the state requirements for such certification.
