SitterSource
SitterSource is a nonprofit organization established to provide a free community for sitters to meet online, exchange ideas, and learn from each other.
Babysitters in training can gain insight into the responsibilities of being a provider and learn how to locate babysitting jobs. SitterSource provides how-to articles, arts and crafts ideas, and tips and tricks for becoming better babysitters and child care providers. SitterSource is also committed to help these young adults become budding entrepreneurs and help realize their career goals.
The mission of SitterSource is in pursuit of the following principles:
Educate. SitterSource is committed to informing the youth about the responsibility of being a childcare provider. We also want to make the experience for the children they are taking care of to have an enjoyable time by providing resources on activities, easy recipes, and creative crafts for sitters to bring along with them.
Support. The motto of SitterSource is “for sitters, by sitters”. SitterSource believes the best people to help support each other are by those in the same field and encourage learning through each others experiences by creating a network of other like minded individuals.
Inspire. SitterSource wants to help the youth realize the entrepreneur within them by providing entrepreneurial articles for the young business owners and in turn realizing their goals for their future. Babysitting extends beyond caretaking, they have to face the obstacles of acquiring new clients, settings rates, booking new or consistent jobs, and much more.
