Even if they get minimum wage or thereabouts, you should still insist that they hold a current CPR card.

Anyone who cares for children should have CPR training (I recommend from the American Heart Association because it's good for 2 years instead of 1), which includes teaching how to clear foreign body airway obstructions (the Heimlich maneuver, obstructions for children and infants). Anyone can choke on food, etc., but children more so due to their different anatomy and other factors.

I've never understood having kids watch other kids (like a 13 or 14 year old) unless they're really mature for their age or something.
