Safe Sitter prepares teens for any situation they may encounter while babysitting, staying home alone, or supervising younger siblings. Through the updated curriculum, our certified instructors will help students develop their skills in safety, childcare, first aid, and business through engaging activities. Safe Sitter lessons will also show students how to manage behavioral issues and emergency situations! Participants will go home with a helpful handbook and a certification card.
A pizza lunch will be provided.
