Frankly, parents just want to get away for a few hours and for many many years no one was certified at all and most of us pulled through. No, I don’t think it will make much of a difference to them HOWEVER to answer your initial question, no, an online CPR class is not as good as an in person class.

On-line class certifications are not considered valid by most employers, and people who take on-line classes rarely can pass the standard tests offered during ‘real’ classes.
If I were a parent looking to hire a babysitter that really KNEW CPR, I would not accept any training that did not include manikins.

That is a written exam. CPR and First Aid qualification should be both written and practical app. I would suggest going to a local Red Cross or certified instructor to insure you are valid.
