Empower your 11–15-year-old to start their first babysitting business with confidence. This engaging, one-day course teaches essential childcare routines, leadership, safe play activities, and how to handle minor bumps, scrapes, or emergencies.
What The Day Builds
Not just “watching kids.” Real care, real decisions, real confidence.
Safety Decisions
Choking relief, minor first aid, hazard spotting, when to call an adult, and when to call 911.
Babysitter Business
How to speak with parents, set expectations, keep useful notes, and understand what it means to be trusted.
The Point Of Practice
Knowing what to do next.
Babysitting is a trust job. We give learners enough repetition to make safety feel practical, calm, and possible.
