Terms
Plain language, because terms nobody reads protect nobody.
What the certificate is
The Babysitting Blueprint issues a certificate of completion. It confirms that a person completed our course and met our published standard — 90% or higher on the full assessment, with all twelve mandatory safety questions answered correctly.
What it is not
- It is not a license. No babysitting license exists anywhere in the United States.
- It is not accredited. No accrediting body exists for babysitting training.
- It is not a background check and does not include one.
- It is not a recommendation or endorsement of any individual, and it does not mean we vouch for anyone’s suitability to care for your child.
Families should always meet a sitter, check references, and use their own judgment. A verification page is one input, not a decision.
Assessment and retakes
Three attempts. After a third unsuccessful attempt there is a seven-day wait, and the relevant module must be retaken before trying again. Sharing assessment questions or answers voids a credential.
Expiry and renewal
Certificates are valid for 24 months from the date of certification. After that a verification page shows Expired. Renewal is a shorter refresher plus the current safety assessment.
Revocation
We may revoke a credential for falsified identity, shared assessment content, or misrepresentation of what the certificate means. A revoked credential stops verifying immediately.
Refunds
Full refund within 14 days if you have not completed the assessment.
Video guarantee. The written course is complete and available immediately. The video versions of the classes are scheduled for October 2026 and are included at no extra cost for anyone who has already bought. If the video is not available by 31 October 2026, you may request a full refund by emailing us, regardless of how long ago you purchased and regardless of whether you have completed the course or the assessment.
Content accuracy
Rate data is compiled from published third-party sources and clearly labeled where figures are our own estimates. It is guidance, not a guarantee of what any family will pay. Tax information is general and is not tax advice.
