why the world needs more babysitting

THE OVERLOOKED CRISIS: TEENS ARE STRUGGLING

Limited Opportunities for Younger Teens:

Teens aged 11-16 are at a pivotal stage of their development. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions such as decision-making, reasoning, problem-solving, and social-emotional behaviour, is rapidly maturing. However, during this crucial time, younger teens are often underserved and lack engaging, meaningful opportunities.

Craving Independence, Financial Autonomy, but Stuck in a Digital Loop.

Screen time has increased by 60% among teens, contributing to rising mental health issues.

Alarming Statistics - Youth are in Crisis!

139% more youth are experiencing depression and anxiety.
Suicide rates among girls aged 10-14 have sky rocketed by 188% since 2010.
Despite spending 40+ hours per week on social media, many teens report feeling lonelier than ever.

(Source: CDC, 2023; Statista I, II)

Traditional Jobs Fall Short:

Traditional first jobs (fast food, retail) are draining and uninspiring, fail meaningful skills, and don’t prepare teens for the future.

Parents Struggle: Burdening Childcare Costs and Childcare Unavailability

Parents struggle to find available childcare (up to 62%) and are desperate for safe, flexible and affordable childcare, but younger teens are rarely trusted or trained to fill this gap.

THE MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF BABYSITTING
Babysitting offers a meaningful solution, providing benefits that extend to both age groups.

For Teens:

Reduced Screen Time and Anxiety: Excessive screen usage among teens has been linked to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Engaging in babysitting encourages teens to disconnect from digital devices, fostering real-world interactions that alleviate these mental health issues.
Enhanced Social Skills: By caring for younger children, teens develop patience, empathy, and effective communication skills, which are crucial for building healthy relationships and boosting self-esteem.
First Income from a job that is rewarding, fulfilling, and inspiring.

For Young Children:

Personalized Care Over Digital Distraction: Many young children today are often pacified with digital devices ("digital babysitters"), a practice that can hinder their cognitive development and lead to behavioral issues. Having a teen babysitter provides personalized attention, promoting healthier mental and emotional growth.
Improved Cognitive Development: Excessive screen time in early childhood has been associated with delayed language acquisition and reduced attention spans. Interactive play and direct communication with a babysitter stimulate cognitive functions, encouraging curiosity and learning.

For Parents: Affordable and flexible childcare that is much needed in today's economy.

At Kindraza, we recognize the mutual benefits of babysitting.
Our programs equip teens with the skills to provide safe, attentive and engaging care, fostering environments where both they and the children they look after can thrive mentally, emotionally, and socially.
