Turn a Box of Everyday Toys Into
Afternoons Families Pay $20 to $30 an Hour For

No. This is a digital playbook: you get instant access to every plan, card and printable the moment you pay. Nothing is shipped, so there's no waiting and no shipping cost.

Yes, because you're not doing therapy. You're a sitter: you keep a child safe, follow the parents' plan and play. Every play plan tells you what to bring out and what to say. If you're patient with kids and can read a page, you can follow it.

No. The Playbook is childcare and play, and you should never offer it as ABA, therapy or treatment. It doesn't diagnose or treat autism or any other condition, and it doesn't replace a child's care team. If a family has a therapist, you follow what the family tells you.

It depends on where you live. Sitting for one family in their own home usually doesn't need a childcare license, but rules change by state. Caring for children in your own house can need one, and the limits vary a lot. Check your state and town first. Families may also ask for CPR training and a background check. The Playbook is a guide, not a credential, so never present it as one.

There are, and that's the problem. They come in no order, and you end up scrolling while a child waits. You don't need another free list. You need 500 plans sorted by moment, and a plan to turn them into extra income.

It will happen, and it's rarely about you. Before your first afternoon you ask the parents what helps and who to call. The Hard-Moment Guide shows you how to stay calm and keep everyone safe. If anyone is in danger, you call 911 and then the parents.

It depends on your hours. One 3-hour afternoon a week at $20 to $30 an hour works out to about $3,400 to $5,100 a year. Break days and regular families can pay more. Results are not guaranteed and depend on your effort, prices and area.

Families who can't find anyone else. On Care.com, special needs sitters post about $20 an hour on average, and around $26 in Los Angeles. Rates are lower in some towns, and the pricing sheet helps you set yours. Parents say the hard part is trust, so being reliable counts for a lot.

A printer or a library printer, paper, and scissors for the cards. The play plans use the toys and household things a family already owns. If you own those, you can start with the $27 and nothing else.

Plans are written for kids from about 3 to 12. Every child is different, so you go by what the parents tell you and what the child enjoys, not by age alone. Small parts stay away from any child who still puts things in their mouth.

You start with people who already know you: friends, church, your old school and your local Facebook group. Many of these parents have been looking for a long time. The kit gives you the exact posts and messages, and the only thing you've spent is the $27.

Word of mouth, local Facebook groups, parent support groups, churches, libraries and school contacts. The Fill-Your-Schedule Kit shows you where to start in the first 30 days.

Most people haven't, and that's why parents struggle to find help. Start with the family you know best, ask the questions on the Family Intake Card and try your first afternoon with a parent at home. You only take the families you feel ready for.

The plans are already written, so preparing takes as long as pressing print. One afternoon a week is enough to start, and you pick the hours. You decide how many families you take.

MLMs make you buy stock and recruit your friends. This is the opposite: no stock, no recruiting, and you give a tired parent a few hours they can't get any other way.

No. You can sit for as many children as you like and print pages for your own work, but the plans, cards and printables are for you. Sharing or reselling them isn't allowed.

Yes. Checkout is secure, everything arrives in your email the moment you pay, and you're covered for 7 days.

Your purchase is covered for 7 days. Open the Playbook, print a few plans, and if it isn't for you, send us one email and we'll refund you in full.
