Confirm a babysitter’s certification
Every certificate we issue carries a number. Type it in and you will see who it belongs to, what they completed, when, and the standard they had to meet. If a number does not resolve here, we did not issue it.
Ask your sitter for their number, or use the link they send you. See what a result looks like
What this confirms, and what it does not
Being straight about this is the point. A certificate that overstates itself is worth less than one that states its limits.
It confirms that this person completed The Babysitting Blueprint certification course and passed a written assessment covering preparation, emergency response, child behavior, babies and toddlers, school-age children, and working with families — including a set of safety-critical questions where nothing less than every answer correct will pass.
It is not a license. It is not a background check. It is not a hands-on first aid or CPR certification — no written course can test whether someone can actually perform back blows, which is why the course tells every student to take an in-person class as well. It does not verify identity, age, or experience.
Interview them. Take references. Use your own judgment. This page is one piece of information, not a substitute for the rest.
Why we show a first name and last initial
Most of our students are teenagers. Publishing a minor’s full name on a page anyone can find is the exact thing we teach them not to do on their own flyers and profiles. You already know which sitter you are checking — this page confirms the credential, not the identity.
If you are the sitter
Your number is issued the moment you finish the certification, and it is on your certificate. Send parents the link, not just the number — it opens straight to your record.
Certificates run for two years from the date they are issued. After that the record still resolves, but it shows as expired.
