Safe Sitter - Ages 11+

This course is intended to improve your child’s care skills needed for babysitting. Founded in 1980, Safe Sitter® is the only national nonprofit training program exclusively devoted to preparing young teens to be safe in unsupervised settings, whether babysitting, sibling sitting or home alone.

The Safe Sitter® curriculum is designed exclusively for young teens in grades 6-8, and covers the following areas: safety skills, childcare skills, first aid & rescue skills, and life & business skills. Safe Sitter® courses are instructor-led and interactive, with hands-on demonstrations and skills practice using soft-bodied dolls and medical manikins. Your child will be very prepared to start their babysitting career. Each student completing the course will receive a certificate that verifies this training for caring for small infants and toddlers. The Safe Sitter course has a great deal of information presented in a short period of time. It is important you are available for the entire class.

Please bring a lunch and drink.

Please sign up early, as we need to order books ahead of time and don’t want you to miss out!!!!
