Ready to start earning your first income, but not sure where to start? Join our in-person Babysitting Mastery camp located at 918 Bathurst (just steps from Bathurst TTC & Christie Pits) designed just for teens aged 12 to 15. Spend a fun full-day learning babysitting business, exploring cool art techniques, meeting local teens, and making new friends, awesome projects and memories you’ll love.
Scip the basic training

Babysitting Mastery Camp is a new Kindraza summer program designed to help teens build confidence, responsibility, and first-income skills through Canadian Red Cross certification, entrepreneurship, and hands-on experience — all while having a lot of fun along the way!

Turning leadership potential into real-world capability

This program prepares teens and tweens to confidently care for younger children, handle household emergencies, and run their own local babysitting businesses.

• Child Care & Safety Foundations: Infant and toddler care basics, safe play, managing behaviour and critical conflict-resolution tools.
• Emergency Preparedness: Basic first aid scenarios, home safety audits, and clear crisis communication guidelines.
• The Business of Babysitting: Teens learn practical business and leadership skills including marketing, professionalism, money management, and communication. Participants leave with a step-by-step plan to help them become high-demand, trusted babysitters in their local community.
• Real-world Practice: As part of the Babysitting Mastery program, teens take part in structured leadership sessions with younger campers. These sessions are fully supervised, face-to-face, and take place entirely within the controlled 918 Bathurst facility, providing teens with valuable hands-on experience, increased confidence, and meaningful interaction with local families.

We prepare teens to be capable, not just "hired".

Why we recommend the 5-Day Camp Training

Unlike a standard weekend CPR/First Aid and babysitting certification course, Kindraza’s Babysitting Mastery Camp combines full Red Cross certification with hands-on learning designed to build real-world confidence, responsibility, communication skills, and practical readiness for babysitting.

Rather than focusing only on technical training, we emphasize:

• confidence and leadership

• practical babysitting experience

• communication and basic business skills

• safety for both children and babysitters

• camp-style, peer-based learning

The Science Behind Our 5-Day Framework

The 5-day camp approach may be the best developmental fit for most teens aged 12–15 because they learn more effectively in social, hands-on environments than through condensed certification courses or intensive 8-hour training session.

Real-world readiness

While CPR certification is important, we also focus on the broader skills that matter in real situations:

• staying calm under pressure

• making sound decisions

• taking initiative

• clear communication

• problem solving and critical thinking

At this age, those matter more.

The program includes two afternoons of supervised hands-on practice with younger children in a structured camp setting.

*In partnership with certified Canadian Red Cross Instructors

The program is designed for both complete beginners and teens who already have some babysitting experience and want to improve their confidence, and babysitting skills.

Summer fun in between

The Babysitting Mastery program is built into a high-energy summer camp experience filled with fun outings and hands-on activities, so teens don’t just learn, they actually love being there. It’s a chance to unplug, build real friendships, and grow confidence while having a genuinely great summer! No phones allowed!

Studio Fine Arts: Immersive exploration of a variety of art forms from dot painting and mosaics to face painting. Each workshop brings a new opportunity to experiment, design, and bring ideas to life in a fun and supportive environment.

• Turn face painting skills into income opportunity or babysitting service upsale!

Advanced DIY Projects: Trendy, room-decor-worthy projects using professional materials.

This is a great option for teens who love hands-on activities, social time, and creative fun.
