The holiday is every second Saturday in May.

History

The history of National Babysitter’s Day begins in 2003, when it was established by Safety Whys. The main focus of its activities is the training of specialists to work with children. Future nannies are trained in the basics of child psychology, basic principles of parenting and working with children of different ages. A nanny must treat someone else’s child as her own, and give him a piece of her soul.

Since ancient times, wealthy people have taken on special teachers who simultaneously taught the child the necessary knowledge and acted as a caregiver. In its modern form the babysitting profession began to take shape in the 19th century. Such services were also used by wealthy people who did not have enough time to raise children, or they wanted their child to receive maximum knowledge and skills at an early age. Today, babysitting services are available to the general public.

Interesting facts
