Providing life skills, safety skills, and child care training in order to build safer communities.
The Instructor-led classes are filled with fun games and role-playing exercises. Students even get to use manikins to practice rescue skills like choking rescue!
Do you feel ready to stay home alone, watch your brothers and sisters while your parents are gone, or babysit for younger children? Then maybe it’s time for Safe Sitter®. Safe Sitter® is for young teens in grades 6-8 who are ready to learn the skills they need to care for themselves and younger children.
In addition, Safe Sitter® teaches young teens life and business skills, so that they know how to be prepared, be responsible, and be considerate whether they are babysitting or doing odd jobs for family, friends, or neighbors. Take a class! You’ll have fun. You’ll learn a lot. And at the end of the day, you can proudly say, “I am a Safe Sitter®!”
If you’re not quite ready for the responsibility of babysitting but you are ready to stay home alone, Safe@Home might be for you! Safe@Home will teach you how to stay safe when you are home alone for short periods of time. You will learn what to do if there is a power failure, weather emergency, or get a nose bleed. After you’re comfortable staying home alone, you might find that you’re ready for Safe Sitter®!
