Note to Instructor


If there are two Instructors available, the second Instructor should serve as a coach for child entertainer throughout this experience.


When you meet an employer, it’s important to make them feel comfortable and confident with you as the babysitter.


• What questions will our student volunteer need to ask the employer when they meet?


• Our guest is ________ years old. What age group is that? • What entertainment ideas are good for that age group? • What ideas for comfort could be used for that age group?


• [If the class has a gift for the child] Is our gift appropriate for the child’s age? Why?


• What safety issues must be considered? • Let’s look at the Safe Sitter®


Guide to Child Development (on page 13):


– Can the child walk? – Can the child talk? – Can the child be counted on to stay safe? – Can the child be counted on to follow the rules when left alone? – Can the child feed himself/herself? – Can the child go to the bathroom alone? – Can the child go to bed alone?
