Help Kick Start Your Teen's Business

Parents say that good babysitters are hard to find, according to a new American Red Cross poll.

A majority of parents believe sitters should be paid more if they are trained to help a child who is choking, recognize potential emergency situations, identify items that could be hazardous to small children, and give first aid for minor cuts and bruises.
