Recently, a choking toddler was saved by some fast acting employees at a MacDonald's in Australia who had been trained in baby and child first aid and CPR. The parent stood by helplessly pleading for someone to help her child. Thankfully, this happened in a place where someone was there to help or this may have had a very different outcome.
I wonder why child and baby first aid and CPR are required in order for a teen to receive babysitting certification, but that it is not part of the new parent training that most parents participate in prior to the birth of their child.
I strongly encourage you to take the time and spend the money to get this training and to keep your certification current. The life of your child or someone else's may depend on it.
