Information for Parents and Employers
Our Babysitting
Certificate of Completion and Wallet Card recognises a student's
commitment to gain the knowledge and skills needed to handle the
challenges of babysitting. It is not a degree or license or
accreditation.
If you are interested in getting your Child Care license, most states
require a certain number of hours of child care education. Our course
qualifies for this in many states. Here is an information page where
you can get more information on licensure, and what each state requires.
