"You may think that CPR training is not important for a babysitter, who is only going to be taking care of kids for a few hours at a time. This is far from the truth. CPR training is very important for babysitters to have, no matter how infrequent their babysitting jobs and how short the time is that they are in care of the children. Here are five reasons why.
- Caregiver – you are the person responsible
- Kids get into trouble – Kids do not fully understand all the dangers around them
- Emergencies cannot be predicted – Emergency situations can happen at any time
- Time is of the essence – you cannot wait for someone else to arrive
- The only ‘adult’ in the house – Unexpected situations can arise
In 2006, our company was founded by a group of dynamic business professionals, bringing experience in customer service, traditional retail, technology, legal, and marketing. From there, we have grown and diversified even more. Today, we run eBabysitters.com in an effort to bridge the gap between babysitters and parents who ultimately, need each other’s services. We just couldn’t accept that finding a sitter last minute, or finding a babysitter after moving into a new town, could be so timely and difficult.
We saw two separate entities; parents and babysitters. Parents often prefer to find a babysitter within their family or social circle, feeling more confident going to someone who is known and referred by a friend or acquaintance. Then we saw the main problem, people that met these qualifications are far and few between. There’s usually only one teenager on the block, and you’d have to reserve them three months in advance, and there just aren’t enough cousins that qualify as a proper fit for handling your children. On the other side, we also knew people who had a side job as a babysitter. Unfortunately, their babysitting jobs were too sporadic to make the extra money they were hoping for. Alas, the idea was molded; we want to fuse these two groups together, in a safe, simple and practical way. Check out more about the company at the "About" tab...
