Babysitting classes for teen? #923365

Asked January 06, 2026, 11:16 AM EST

Does extension offer any babysitting classes? I am familiar with Red Cross, but the next class I see is in 6 months and an hour away! My teen daughter would like to have some formal training before doing too much babysitting.

Thank you for your question. MSU Extension does offer Babysitting classes; however, it is not a statewide offering and is not currently offered as an online course. The best bet is to reach out to your local extension office and ask to speak with the local 4-H Program Coordinator. The Babysitting classes are offered in some counties depending on staff. I have provided the link below to contact your closest county office. Thank you very much.
