Well first off you don't absolutely need a license, because most parents do not care. On the other hand getting a license does help you receive more jobs probably because the parents see that you are taking the job seriously, and that you really know what you are doing. Not all babysitting jobs require a license, but it is certainly something to look into if you are serious about making money and keep the children safe. Hope this helps, WikiWooWho

No, you do not NEED to have a license to babysit but it is a good idea to have one or take the course to get more jobs and parents to trust you with their kids.

No, not in most states, at least. In Wisconsin, there is some type of license that is needed, apparently. However, some parents may ask for references, in any case.

You can babysit up to 3 children in Pennsylvania without a license. You can babysit more children than this if they are family.

Yes, you do need a license to babysit in Delaware. This is also true if you are working in an Early Care and Education Center.

The state does not license baby sitters. There may be some localities that offer courses and certificates in baby-sitting skills.

There are no licenses required to babysit in any state. You do need a license to run a child care facility.
