School Nurses

Babysitting Curriculum for Students in Grades 6-8

Interactive Program that Is Developmentally Appropriate for Middle School Learners

School nurses are uniquely positioned to teach Safe Sitter® — you already understand child development, injury prevention, and the importance of reaching students before an emergency happens. Safe Sitter’s medically accurate curriculum, developed in partnership with pediatricians and aligned with the latest American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, gives you a ready-made program to extend your health advocacy beyond the nurse’s office. Teaching Safe Sitter® lets you reach students at a critical age with skills they’ll carry into every babysitting job and home-alone situation for years to come.

Teach Safe Sitter® and serve as an active advocate to keep students safe and healthy when they aren’t at school.

  • Add a life-saving prevention program with a minimal investment.
  • Educate community members on the evolving role of school nurses in the lives of students.
  • Complete Instructor Certification online when it is convenient for you.
