Safe Sitter Classes

When you accept a babysitting job, you accept responsibility for a child’s life.  Taking a Safe Sitter class will help prepare you to be a more responsible babysitter.   And you’ll HAVE FUN!

Safe Sitter is a medically accurate program that teaches boys and girls ages 11 to 13 how to handle emergencies when caring for children.  The program prepares young adolescents for the profound responsibilities of nurturing and protecting children.  This class also teaches safe and nurturing child care techniques, behavior management skills, and appropriate responses to medical emergencies.
