This is not your grandmother’s babysitting class…

In the good old days, babysitters worried about how to get Johnny fed and into bed on time. Safety meant keeping the doors locked and a phone close at hand. But times have changed. Over 200 babysitters convened on www.agirlsworld.com to discuss the challenges babysitters are facing today. The result is a list of serious safety and security issues that would daunt a sitter of any age.

It is common for today’s babysitter to sit for families embroiled in custody battles, or who are dealing with an emotional crisis such as separation, divorce, layoffs or serious illness. Teens are babysitting in houses where kids have access to weapons. Both parents work and don’t have time to "safety proof'" their houses. Many times, parents aren’t aware of poisoning, drowning and other hazards their children face at home.

After listening to over 200 babysitter’s problems, stories and solutions, the Girl’s World girlcrew of teens and tweens have created a six hour online class that gives sitters of today the information they need to handle the challenge of babysitting. Endorsed by parents and reviewed by nurses, E.M.T.'s and Public Safety Educators, www.babysittingclass.com trains sitters to prevent emergencies through proper planning, and to give thoughtful, loving care to their charges.

Class Background

Our AGW Girlcrew worked with an Interactive Instructional designer to open the first online e-learning Babysitter's Certificate Class for youth and adults. Our course, the first "leg" of our "Smart Sitter" program, opened on A Girl's World on August 6, 2001, and was praised by students, parents and safety and health professionals alike. Emails, cards and letters poured in from students around the world, asking us to open the class up to anyone who wanted to learn more about childcare.

After four years of babysitting chats and test classes, May 21, 2002, our class opened to all Babysitters on www.babysittingclass.com. We would like to dedicate this class to all hard working parents for whom it is a difficult task to find a great sitter and knowledgeable childcare for their children.

We hope you enjoy the course, and appreciate your committment to making the world safer, nicer and smarter for children and sitters.

Warmest regards from the AGW Girlcrew:

Angela, Brigid, Christine, Gina, Lauren, Meaghan, Mindee, Sarada
