Safe Sitter Accredited Program for Young Adolescents
Schliemann Center for Women again hosts the 2 day Safe Sitter Program. 9 am to 3pm. Dates: June 24 & 25, July 8 & 9, July 22 & 23, Aug 7 & 8.
Safe Sitter is a medically accurate program that teaches young adolescents how to handle emergencies when caring for children. The course provides hands on practice in lifesaving techniques to young teens who are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting so they are equipped with the skills and confidence to act in an emergency. They learn basic first aid and infant and child choking rescue and CPR. Students also receive instruction on how a child’s age affects how to care for them, how to prevent problem behavior, and how to run their own babysitting business.
