More Than a Babysitting Class

Babysitter Basics & Safety Certification gives young people the child care skills, emergency response training, and practical business tools they need to babysit confidently and professionally. This is a real certification that parents trust and teens are proud to have.

Custom Business Kit: Rate cards, client agreements, and parent safety questionnaires.
Professional Handbook: A comprehensive guide they can reference on the job.
