How to Put Together a Babysitting Folder- Make babysitting fun, easy, and worry-free by creating a Babysitting Folder for your babysitter. This is a small folder or binder where you keep information that your sitter might need about your children, you, and your home while you are away. This is also helpful and responsible for a babysitter to have parents fill in.
Babysitter Busy Bag- This is a bag a parent can leave for the babysitter or a babysitter can bring along with them to a job, full of parent-approved, age-appropriate activities that only come out while the babysitter is there. This allows entertainment for kids that is not screen time/TV, avoids boredom, and increases excitement to spend time with a sitter.
How to Put Together a Homestead/Farm/Pet Sitting Folder- Make homestead/farm/pet sitting fun, easy, and worry-free by creating a Homestead/Pet Sitting Folder for your home or farm. This is a small folder or binder where you keep information that your sitter might need about your farm, animals, you, and your home while you are away.
