“We have created a variety of different ways for the babysitter to learn. It is incredibly interactive. It is very easy to move from one module to the next. I’m also really excited about the way that we did some of the experiential learning.”

“I really liked when I got to choose what I should do if someone burned themselves in the kitchen.”

Course Modules

To complete the babysitting online course, students will go through each module from 1-6, in order

The modules start with becoming a babysitter and caring for children, before introducing more serious topics like conflict resolution, staying safe, handling emergencies and basic first aid.

Each module includes Tips, Reflections and Knowledge Checks, helping students move through sections comfortably and increasing their confidence.

The Babysitting Checklist is a big part of The Babysitting Course, and each module talks about how to fill it out and when to refer back to it for answers. Having the checklist printed out when going through the course is a smart idea!
