Along with a few examples about how it can be a bit challenging at times….. to make sure kids have realistic expectations of what being a babysitter will be like. ✅ We will take turns sharing ideas about and chatting about the kinds of fun activities babysitters can do with kids. ✅ Before class comes to an end we will also briefly discuss important topics like: -how to make yourself standout as a responsible babysitter. -how to leave a positive impact on families and get them to refer you to their friends -how to figure out how much teens / tweens should charge for their babysitting services -how to talk to kids in a positive and kind way -the importance of advocating for themselves as a young person doing a job -when we should use our cell phones ( if we have one ) while babysitting -how to find your first few babysitting jobs -mothers helpers 👩🏫 Will kids get to learn some tips & tricks about how they can become an awesome sitter too?

Yes! This class utilizes about 20 slides to help kids learn in multiple ways. Kids can read along by viewing the slides as I speak. This helps MANY kids retain the information better. Students are highly encouraged to take down a few notes during class that they feel are truly important to helping them succeed! 🥳 Kids are also provided a note taking print out to help taking notes easier!! 🎙Is this class interactive where the kids can talk with the teacher? - Absolutely! During our time together learners will also be encouraged to engage in discussion and ask me questions about real life babysitting situations, as they view the slides on the screen with me and chat together. A few examples of questions kids usually ask are: - What can I do if the kids are shy? - What should I do if a kid breaks something? - What if they have pets? 👍 Will the students learn about the importance of setting boundaries and expectations for themselves as a babysitter too? -Yes!

This is simply done to help eliminate background noise from kids homes so I can give each learner the chance the deserve to truly feel seen and heard during class while I give them my complete focus answering their questions. I try to avoid muting whenever possible so kids feel free to chat with me freely during the class. 🎥 Do kids need to have their cameras on? - Yes.
