Event Details

Designed to prepare students in grades 6 - 8 to be safe when they’re home alone, watching younger siblings or babysitting.

The instructor-led class is filled with fun games and role-playing exercises. Students even get to use manikins to practice rescue skills like choking rescue and CPR!

What students will learn in the Safe Sitter Class:

• Students learn how to prevent unsafe situations and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies.
• Learning skills such as choking rescue and CPR is often students’ favorite part of the class. Students also learn a system to help them assess and respond to injuries and illnesses.
• The ability to screen jobs discuss fees, and greet employers will set students up for success now and in the future. Students practice these skills through various role plays.
• Students learn tips to manage behavior to help them control themselves and the children in their care. Students also learn the ages and stages of child development and practice diapering.
