Parental Guidance
To get the most of out this 5 day babysitting like a pro course, kids are encouraged to: 1. Bring a pencil and paper to class each day to take down some notes as I share my tips and tricks during classes. Notes are not only a great resource for kids to refer back to during our trivia games, but physically writing down something also helps children retain it better as well. 2. Interact and engage with me and the other kids while we chat during class by unmuting and sharing thoughts and opinions or using the chat feature in zoom as often as possible. 3. Raise their hands when they would like to speak, rather than calling out as other students or myself are speaking. ( I will provide friendly reminders if needed.....the first few times. I may ask for parents support with this by sending an email or message to parents before, during, or after class as well.) 4. Have access to a lap top, i pad, or device to play Blooket Trivia with the class and teacher. - In this course, I will help the kids understand how to utilize the chat feature in zoom to click a private link I will send them to the Blooket trivia game I personally create each week.

They are able to play on the device they are using and easily still chat verbally with Miss Anna if they want to!

They will simply use Miss Anna's teacher account to click the link and play along with the rest of the class. *ALSO, Cell phones are NOT recommend to attend this class.

In addition I have over 15 years of teaching and mentoring expierience.
