SIC Code 7299-19 - Baby Sitters

The Baby Sitters industry, classified under SIC Code 7299, provides childcare services to parents and guardians who require temporary supervision for their children. Baby sitters are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of children while their parents or guardians are away. This industry is highly dependent on the availability of parents who require childcare services, and as such, it is often busiest during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Baby sitters typically work in the homes of their clients, although some may work in daycare centers or other childcare facilities. They may be responsible for caring for infants, toddlers, or older children, and their duties may include feeding, bathing, changing diapers, playing with children, and putting them to bed. Baby sitters must be patient, responsible, and able to handle emergency situations calmly and efficiently.
