Who can subscribe as a student
BPN offers free one-year subscriptions to local full-time students in middle school, high school, and college who want to look for babysitting and/or tutor/teacher/coaching jobs on BPN.
What are the benefits of subscribing?
This subscription allows you to:
- Post to the Childcare listing offering to babysit. Read and reply to messages from parents who are looking for a babysitter. Typically there are around 200 active posts from parents looking for childcare.
- Post to the Tutor/Teacher listing about your guitar lessons, soccer coaching, math tutoring, or any other subject.
How to subscribe as a student
When you fill out the form to subscribe, we will need the name of your school. Please use "Short Description of Program or Service" to say what your grade or year in school is. If you are homeschooled you can add that information here.
- Middle school and high school students must provide the name of the school they attend and their grade or year (freshman, sophomore, etc.).
- Full-time college students must also subscribe with a school email address.
Your subscription will not be approved if we can't tell whether you qualify for a student subscription from the information you give us on the subscribe form.

Privacy concerns for student subscribers
-
We will use only your first name and last initial for your posts, and parents will be able to contact you using BPN's messaging system, so your email will not be available to them unless you give it to them yourself. Only the BPN administrators have access to your full name, email, and any other information you provide when you subscribe. Please see our Privacy Policy for details.
-
Childcare posts can only be viewed by BPN subscribers. These posts are not available to the public.
-
Tutor/Teacher posts are available to the public. See FAQ for Tutors & Teachers for more information, including Tutor Scam.
