Introduction to Babysitting as a Business, Entrepreneur, Pricing

In this interactive, semi-private (maximum 2 leaners) 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?  Does that change your pricing?
     - What age group do you feel most safe and competent watching?  
     - How can mindfulness and self awareness make your job more enjoyable?
     - What makes your babysitting special?  (Do you bring crafts?  Bake?  Tutor?)
     - What classes/certifications could be helpful (e.g. fire safety, CPR)?
     - How will you get to jobs?  Does that impact where or how late you can work?

This is an interactive class and there will be lots of time for questions.  Learners are welcome to come with any level of baby sitting experience!  This class will help prepare your learner to be a babysitter - with a business.  

Please note this is not a health or safety class, though we will talk briefly about some safety considerations.  (Certificate of Completion available by request, but this is not a "babysitter certification course".)

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.
