Is your child ready to stay home alone, watch younger brothers and sisters while you’re away from the house, or babysit for younger children? Then maybe it’s time for Safe Sitter®. Safe Sitter® is for boys and girls in grades 6-8 who are ready to learn the skills they need to care for themselves and younger children.

Safe Sitter® teaches young teens how to practice important safety skills, how to handle emergencies, and how to treat illnesses and injuries. Some classes even teach CPR. In addition, students learn important business skills, such as how to screen jobs, set a wage, and work with employers.

If your child is not quite ready for the responsibility of babysitting but is interested in staying home alone, Safe@Home is the perfect program. Safe@Home will teach your child how to stay safe when they are home alone for short periods of time. They will learn what to do if there is a power failure, weather emergency, or get a nose bleed. After they are comfortable staying home alone, then they can sign up for Safe Sitter®!
