Netflix streaming was always an incredibly effective babysitter, and it just got better.  Launching today, everywhere Netflix streaming is already available, is Netflix “Just for Kids”.

Update your Netflix app and you will be greeted with the option of using Just for Kids, which is aimed at children 12 years old and under and only displays kid-friendly content.  You can search based on criteria like dinosaurs, superheroes, girl power, and princesses.  And using the Kinect sensor you can search with just your voice.

Of course, you will still need a Netflix account, an Xbox Live Gold membership, and some high speed internet.  Pittance for having a thousand hours of child care at your disposal.
