If your child is ready to enter the world of babysitting, make sure he or she is fully prepared by attending our Safe Sitter class. Our comprehensive one-day course will help young people be safer, more confident caregivers and give them the resources they need to succeed whether they are babysitting other children, their siblings or are home alone.
New babysitters will learn about injury management, childcare essentials, injury prevention, behavior management, the business of babysitting and how to care for a choking child or infant. Course materials are designed to be age/grade appropriate.
