Safe Sitter Classes

Committed to Training Better Sitters Today ... Better Parents Tomorrow

Safe Sitter is a medically accurate babysitting preparation program designed for adolescents ages 11 and up. The competency-based, interactive curriculum was written by a pediatrician and teaches safe and nurturing child care techniques.

The Safe Sitter course includes babysitting as a business, babysitting ethics, how to care for the choking infant or child, rescue breathing, personal safety, how to care for children (diapering, feeding, entertaining, etc.) injury prevention, basic first aid, preventing problem behavior and behavior management.

Teaching methodology includes hands-on-manikin practice, role-playing, games and discussion. To ensure high quality, a low ratio of student to instructor is required - no more than 8 students per class.

The class is taught from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM with 1/2 hour for lunch followed by a short commencement ceremony for parents at 4:30 PM. The charge is $50. Each student is to wear comfortable clothing - no short shorts, halter tops or tank tops and bring lunch in a bag that will keep the food cool.
