When parents leave their
children with a babysitter, they must be able to trust the babysitter to
look after their children's health and safety and to treat the children
appropriately. Virginia does not require private babysitters to get
licenses or to get certified in child care; thus, parents should
consider a particular babysitter's qualifications and merits carefully
before agreeing to allow her to watch their children.
We are an LLC and not a daycare center. All sitters are independent contractors and have been vetted by The Educated Babysitter LLC. If a sitter transports your child, it is the sitters' and your responsibility to make sure adequate car insurance and guidelines are in place. It is not the responsibility of The Educated Babysitter to regulate sitters transporting children.
