| Creating a Babysitter Profile |
  |
For starters, children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to use BabySitters.com unsupervised and we ask that children do not submit any personal information to us. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use BabySitters.com in conjunction with and under the supervision of your parents or guardians. In no case can a child under the age of 13 create a profile on BabySitters.com. This ensures that we stay in compliance with The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). |
