How
old must I be to take the class and babysit? |
 |
We recommend our class for 11-17 year olds, and we've had students
older who've enjoyed our course.
The legal age to babysit is different in every city. Please ask your
police department or child protective services for this information. |

I
can't see what you're typing to me on Live Help. |

Are
you using a Mac or Web TV console? Our Live Help program uses javascript,
and Mac and Web TV do not support javascript. Sorry about that!
Here's what to do:
Call
us at 760-631-1498, or email us at Customer
Service.
We will be happy to answer any question you have as quickly as possible.

 |
I
am clicking on "Start Class" and my registration number
doesn't work? |
 |
You
must register for the class before you can begin classes. Please
go to the register button on any page of our site and click on it.
Fill in the registration information. This allows us to send you
your certificate, and it activates your pass to the class.

I put my passcodes in, and the verification code just disappeared.
What is going on? How do I fix it? |
 |
Are
you using Internet Explorer 6? It's a great program, but there is
an annoying bug in that version of the browser that bounces registration
codes two to three times before it will verify them. This has nothing
to do with our program. It's just the way that browser works. Here's
how to fix it: click on the box that says "remember passcode".
Enter your verification code with capital letters, no spaces three
times. On the third time, it should accept it and be no further
trouble to you.

 |
When
I fill out the credit card information, whose name should I use? Mine
or the student's? |
 |
Please
input the name of the cardholder when you sign up. You will have
an opportunity to change that name to the student's name at registration.
|
| |
 |
On
my browser, when I click START CLASS or REGISTER the entry box says
Username and Passcode. Where do I fill in the Registration number
and Verification Code I got from your e-mail? |
 |
Please
input your registration number where it says "Username".
Please input your verification code where it says "Passcode".
Unfortunately, these are standard on browsers and we have no way
of changing these boxes to match our system. We're sorry for any
confusion.
|
|
 |
I paid, but I clicked past the page that had my entry codes on it
when I signed up. Then I didn't get an e-mail back. What happened?
What do I do next? |
 |
If
there's a typo in your e-mail address, or your e-mail box is full,
we won't be able to send you a passcode. Please contact us here
at Customer Service
You
can also contact us via e-mail by clicking
here. We ask for you to write us via e-mail so we'll have a
correct address for you. Give us your first and last name, how you
signed up (credit or mail). We'll look up your record and re-send
you the information.

 |
How long is the pass to the class good for? |
 |
Your
pass is good for a whole year from the date you register. That means
that you have a year to earn your certificate, finish any badge
or interest projects you may have, and have access to all the class
materials. That means you have access to:

I would like to do this with my Troop at our meetings, but we do not
have computers. Can we order the material and do everything on paper
and send it in? Or is there another way? |
 |
We
don't offer the class on paper or on CD-ROM because we update it
too often. We are constantly reviewing, perfecting and testing the
course based on input from Councils and Babysitters from around
the world. Using the Internet to deliver the course means that sitters
get the very latest information. It's one of the strengths of the
Internet, to be able to edit and update materials and get those
materials to users instantly when they log in.
What girls who do not have computers do is arrange a couple of troop
meetings to be held at the local library computer center and go
through the course there. That way they have free computers and
Internet access.

 |
I passed the test, and you sent my kit and certificate. Where is my
badge or award? |
 |
Please
note that Babysittingclass.com will not send any badge awards you
may earn to you. These should be ordered through your own local
Council store when you complete the requirements for each one. If
you earned an award while completing our class, talk to your Troop
Leader.
