My best friend has mentioned she found a daycare but would love to pay less and would be willing to leave her son with me since I live so close. My mom had a daycare when I was younger and I love kids but I am very concerned about how young her baby is as he would only be two months about when she goes back to work. Does the Red Cross offer infant specific CPR and First Aid certification?

I don't know if they do offer it, but I am sure if they don't you will be able to find someone else. It's good that you are thinking along those lines of safety.
