University of Illinois Extension: Guide to the Business of Babysitting

This creation of the University of Illinois Extension starts students thinking of babysitting as a business, and maybe the first step in their career path. Parents will like this site because it has materials you can give to babysitters of all ages, especially younger babysitters who are just starting out. No business license is needed yet, but the site covers good business practices, child development, safety and general tips on caring for kids.
