As a service to Community Parents and the Teens who have completed the Syosset Public Library sponsored Babysitting Workshop, the library maintains a Babysitting Registry at the Reference Desk. Parents who need teenage babysitters can complete a Babysitter Request Form outlining their needs, including the number and ages of their children and when they need babysitters (weekends, evenings, after school, etc.).  Additionally, they can indicate any requirements of prospective babysitters.  Teenagers who have completed a babysitting workshop can look through the Registry (with parental permission) to find possible matches.  So, if you need a babysitter or need a babysitting job, stop by the Reference Desk.

Babysitter Request Form (for Parents)

Babysitting Workshop:
The next babysitting workshop with JoAnn Tanck and Georgette Basso will be held on Monday, March 26 from 6-8 PM. Bring a doll or stuffed animal to practice the art of diapering. Registration for SSD residents begins Monday, February 27; March 5 for non-residents. Register

Babysitting Job Fair:
The next Babysitting Job Fair will be held on Sunday, May 6 from 12:30-2 PM. The Job Fair provides the opportunity for parents needing babysitters to meet teens who have completed a Babysitting Workshop. It allows parents to talk to prospective babysitters and learn about their experience, while allowing the children to bond with a prospective babysitter. Teens must register. Parents need not register - just drop in - bring your children and let them bond with a babysitter. Refreshments. Free. (Teen babysitter registration for SSD residents begins Monday, April 2; April 9 for non-residents.) Register
