Community Certification Classes
Hosted at Forest Oaks

Forest Oaks Swim and Racquet Club is here for our community. We offer American Red Cross Certification classes throughout the year ranging from First Aid and CPR certifications to Babysitting to Lifeguarding. All classes are open to the community as well as non-residents of the District.

Pricing for certification classes is based on Forest Oaks Membership status, in-district or out-of-district residency status, and expenses related to the training being provided.

All classes are taught by certified instructors and use American Red Cross training materials and resources. Upon successful completion of a certification, you will receive your certification through the email used for registration, unless you provide a different email address during class. Certifications have varying lengths of validation.

If you have a group who is looking for a training course, please feel free to contact Forest Oaks and speak to our Aquatics Manager, Carlee Nava-Schmidt. We are happy to work with your group to create a custom certification class. Pricing for custom classes will be determined by the size of the group, number of instructors needed, and any supplies or equipment needed to conduct the class.

American Red Cross Babysitting Certification

The American Red Cross is the nation’s leader in babysitting classes and child care training – and will prepare you to become one of the most capable, trusted and in-demand sitters in your neighborhood. In fact, 8 in 10 surveyed parents said they would pay more for a trained babysitter who holds Red Cross babysitting certifications. Start your babysitting business on the right foot and learn how to be a safe, professional and reliable sitter. You can also opt to get certified in First Aid and CPR/AED, and add even more value to your clients. With online and classroom options for all ages, The American Red Cross offers child care training that's not only convenient, but valuable to you and the families you care for.

Once your Red Cross babysitting and child care training is complete, you'll still have access to all of your course materials, including your Babysitter's Training Handbook and Babysitter's Training Emergency Reference Guide on the Red Cross Learning Center. You can download them onto your mobile device or computer, or print them up and take them with you to babysitting jobs. Either way, you'll never be without the information you need to provide families with quality care
