Safe Sitter® is designed to prepare students in grades 6-8 to be safe when they are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. This class is filled with fun games and roleplaying exercises.

Each participant will receive a Safe Sitter® handbook, information notepad, and Safe Sitter® mood-changing pencil. Please bring a soft-bodied baby doll for diaper changing practice, a snack, and a refillable water bottle.

Students Learn:

  • How to prevent unsafe situations and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies.
  • Tips to manage behavior that will help them stay in control of themselves and the children in their care. Ages and stages of child development, as well as practice diapering.
  • Choking rescue and CPR is often students’ favorite part of the class. A system to help them assess and respond to injuries and illnesses.
  • The ability to screen jobs, discuss fees, and greet employers.
