Frequently Asked Questions

Is lunch provided?

  • No, due to dietary variations, we ask all parents to send their new Babysitter with their own nut free snacks and lunch. 

​

What should they bring?

  • If they could bring a doll or stuffed animal that is large enough to diaper, that would be wonderful. We do have some dolls available, but some new Babysitters prefer their own.

  • Pen and paper so they can take notes. AHASTI will provide all other items.

​

Do they get issued a certification card?

  • Yes. We will need a unique email address for each participant, so they will have their own portal to access their records with the Canadian Red Cross.
