Results:

Last January, little 6 year-old Alexis Shoemake was choking on hard candy and turning blue. Her sister, Halley, 11 years old, reacted immediately with one of the skills she learned in the American Red Cross Babysitter's Training Course and saved her life.

Their mother, a nurse, said that the skills her children have learned in the babysitter's training course are not only important through their babysitting years, but through their entire lives.

A month earlier, a 5 year-old boy wasn’t so lucky. He died from choking on a hot dog.

Choking is the fourth leading cause of death in children from one to nine years old.

Who would you want to watch your children?
