Well first off you don't absolutely need a license, because most parents do not care. On the other hand getting a license does help you receive more jobs probably because the parents see that you are taking the job seriously, and that you really know what you are doing. Not all babysitting jobs require a license, but it is certainly something to look into if you are serious about making money and keep the children safe. Hope this helps, WikiWooWho
Greetings Folks, I'm a mom whose reviewing babysitting laws because my own daughter has reached babysitting age. From what I can tell you do not need a license to babysit your own flesh and blood. If however you are professionally babysitting other people's children, that is to say, running a daycare, then you do need a license. Anne
You don't usually need a license to babysit, but if you feel that you need one, they may be given after babysitting courses, which are usually provided by local hospitals, but they will probably have a fee.
Freelance writing does not need a license. You would also not need a license for tutoring, babysitting (as long as its not a daycare), or pet walking.
If you are a teenager babysitting you don't need a license, but if you are an adult who is doing home care you will need a license from the state. Call your department of social services or nearest college early childhood education department and they can give the info.
A babysitting class, it's not like getting your Drivers License.
