The babysitter lists provided to the public is not a "referral" program. It is a service offered to the community by the American Red Cross Lakeland Chapter based on community requests and needs. Upon receipt of a completed Babysitter List Call-In Form, we will mail or email a list of a few names and numbers of sitters that have taken the Red Cross Babysitter's Training Course through the Lakeland Chapter and live close to your area. Although we believe that the teenagers provided on this list should be qualified to babysit, we do not know them personally. We encourage you to interview and screen them, just as we recommend that their parents or guardians interview and screen prospective employers. We have a signed parental permission slip on file on students whose parents wish to leave their child's name with us as potential babysitters.
