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 role-playing exercises.

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.
