* Please feel free to use the auto-schedule feature, if class times don't work for you! *

In this one time class, we'll explore how to start a babysitting business, including:
     - How much should you charge?  Should you charge more for late evenings, extra kids, or multiple families?
     - Should a baby sitter clean and cook while babysitting, and does that change your pricing?
     - What age group would you like to babysit?  What age group do you feel most safe and competent?  
     - How can mindfulness and self awareness make your job more enjoyable?
     - What makes your babysitting special?  (Do you bring crafts with you?  Do you bake?  Do you tutor?)
     - What classes/certifications are helpful (e.g. fire safety, CPR)?
     - How will you get to and from jobs, and does that impact where or how late you can work?

This is a highly interactive class and there will be lots of time for questions.  Learners are welcome to come with any level of baby sitting experience - none to lots!  This is a problem solving and collaborative discussion class - the idea is to jump start discussions that they could continue with family, clients, etc.  This class will help prepare your learner to be a "babysitter with a business."  Please note this is not a health or safety class, and does not offer a certification.

Sibling discounts may be available - reach out!  Also, this class material can be gone over in a 1:1 session (see my class offerings for 2 different 1:1 session lengths and ongoing options.)

A note about my classroom guidelines: kids can be wiggly, distracted, and sensory seeking, and that's totally normal! I try to create spaces that are supportive, cozy, and interactive. Because some behaviors can be distracting for classmates, I will share a basic set of guidelines at the beginning of class. I want to make sure that all students are cared for, and reducing on-camera distractions is part of that!
1)  Video on or off (after verification)!  Discussions can be verbal or in *on-topic* chats.
2)  Be respectful; don't interrupt; raise your (physical or digital) hand!  Don't intentionally distract other students (e.g. putting things directly in front of the camera)
3)  Because they can be quite distracting, this class does not allow video filters, avatars, or background changes (except blur).
4)  If necessary, I will move a disruptive student to the waiting room.  If appropriate, I will let them back in for another chance to stay in class respectfully.  If this occurs and you have questions, please reach out to Support.
5)  Any racist, homophobic, body shaming, violent or inappropriate language/images will result in removal from class.  If this happens, you may email outschool@support.com with any questions.  

A few other notes:
-  Please click your meeting link 2-3 minutes early so we can start class on time!  
-  Per OS policy, if there are no students in the classroom 10 minutes after class starts, I will log off and end class.  (If you're having tech issues trying to enter the classroom, just send a message or post in the classroom, so I know you are there!)
-  If you cannot attend, please let me know at least 24 hours before class starts, so I can transfer you to a different section (when possible).  For example, if you ask for a transfer for a multiday class the day before it starts, and your transfer will result in the class dropping below the learner minimum, I may not be able to offer a transfer.  But if I can, I will!
-  Class recordings are not automatically shared; they will be made available when possible.  Please note, new OS policy is that a learner can't watch a video until they have attended class, unless they are a verified learner.
-  Learners are encouraged to advocate for how they would like to participate.  If your learner needs adult help (e.g. adult on screen, adult answers for child or facilitates answers, adult takes notes), please let me know in advance per OS parent guidance.
