If you've searched "babysitter boot camp near me," "CPR class for teens in Augusta GA," or "how do I get my teen babysitter certified," you've landed in the right place. Pulse CPR School in Martinez, GA is an officially authorized Babysitter Boot Camp® franchise location, training teens ages 10–18 across the entire Augusta and CSRA region in CPR, First Aid, safety, and professional babysitting skills.

This guide covers everything a parent or teen needs to know: what the course includes, how much it costs, the two ways to get certified, and answers to the most common questions we get from Augusta-area families.

What Is Babysitter Boot Camp®?
Babysitter Boot Camp® is a nationally recognized babysitting certification program built around one idea: a great babysitter isn't just someone who can keep kids entertained — they're someone who can keep kids safe. The course blends hands-on CPR and First Aid training with real-world business and professionalism skills, so teens leave not just certified, but genuinely prepared.

At our Martinez, GA location, every student learns:

Infant & Child CPR — hands-on practice on training mannequins
First Aid Basics — cuts, burns, bleeding control, and injury assessment
Choking Rescue — back blows and abdominal thrusts for infants and children
Emergency Response — when and how to call 911 and what to tell dispatchers
Infant Care — diapering, feeding, safe sleep, and soothing techniques
Home Safety — hazard identification and what to do if something goes wrong
Professionalism — punctuality, communication with parents, handling difficult situations
Client Interviews — how to meet a new family and build trust
Setting Rates — how to price services and discuss payment professionally
Marketing & Flyers — building a flyer and business card to advertise services
Age-Appropriate Activities — games and crafts matched to developmental stages
Official Certification — a Babysitter Boot Camp® card recognized by parents and employers
Two Ways to Get Certified in Augusta, GA
Every Pulse CPR School student earns the same official certification — you just choose the format that fits your family's schedule.

Option 1: In-Class Babysitter Boot Camp (One Day, Done)
This is our traditional, live, instructor-led classroom course — everything happens in a single day at our Martinez, GA location. There's no homework, no pre-work, and no follow-up session. Teens arrive in the morning and leave fully trained, CPR-practiced, and certified.

Best for: families who want one simple day with nothing else to schedule, and teens who learn best with live, hands-on group instruction.

Option 2: Virtual Babysitter Boot Camp + Skills Check-Off
Teens complete all lecture content and written testing online, at their own pace, on any device. Once finished, they attend one focused 3-hour in-person skills session at our Martinez location to demonstrate CPR, choking relief, and emergency response hands-on with a certified instructor.

Online course: $24
In-person skills check-off session (3 hours): $89
Held at: 110 Davis Rd #18, Martinez, GA
Best for: busy teens balancing school, sports, or after-school jobs who want flexibility without giving up live, hands-on CPR practice.

How Much Does Babysitter Boot Camp Cost?

At Pulse CPR & First Aid School, we meet some truly inspiring people — and Mendya L. Griffith-Simpkins is one of them. ❤️

While courageously battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia and going through chemotherapy treatments, Mendya still made the commitment to continue learning and staying prepared through CPR/BLS training. Her determination, faith, and positive spirit left a lasting impression on us.

Today, we are excited to celebrate her continued recovery and the release of her powerful new book, “THIS BLOOD: My Story and My Conversations with Cancer. Acute Myeloid Leukemia,” along with her inspiring song created to encourage others facing difficult battles in life.

Mendya’s story is a reminder that strength is not the absence of fear — it is continuing forward with faith, hope, and purpose even during life’s hardest moments.

We are honored she chose Pulse CPR & First Aid School as part of her journey and proud to support her mission of inspiring and uplifting others through her testimony, music, and message.

Please join us in congratulating Mendya and showing your support for her incredible journey! 🙏❤️
