CPR Training for Babysitters and Nannies in Denver

CPR certification is not legally required for private babysitters and nannies in Colorado (unlike licensed childcare workers). But it is increasingly expected by parents, required by professional nanny agencies, and highlighted as a premium credential on platforms like Care.com and Sittercity.

Babysitters with CPR certification earn higher pay, get hired faster, and carry the confidence to handle a real emergency involving the children in their care.

Enroll in a Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED class.

What You Will Learn

The AHA Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED course covers child and infant CPR using the new two-thumb encircling hands technique, AED operation with pediatric pads, the updated choking protocol (5 back blows alternating with 5 chest thrusts for infants), pediatric first aid including bleeding, burns, allergic reactions, and seizures, drowning response, and optional opioid emergency modules.

The course runs approximately 5 hours in the classroom format, or 3 to 5 hours online plus 60 minutes in-person for the blended option. Certification is valid for 2 years and costs $50 to $100 depending on the provider and format.

Why Parents Want CPR-Certified Sitters

Choking kills one child every five days in the United States. Over 12,000 children visit emergency rooms annually for food-related choking injuries. Children under 5 account for 73% of nonfatal choking injuries. The most dangerous foods, including hot dogs, grapes, and hard candy, are exactly the kinds of snacks children eat while in a babysitter's care.

Parents hiring a sitter for the evening want to know that person can respond if something goes wrong. CPR certification provides that assurance.
