Thousands of adolescents across the country have been trained by SafeSitter® to handle life threatening emergencies. Our goal is to reduce thenumber of unintentional deaths of children being cared for by theirbabysitters.
During this two day course adolescents age 11 through 13 will receive hands-on practice in basic lifesaving techniques from trained Safe Sitter® instructors, so they are prepared to respond to crisis situations.
Participants receive helpful tips to make them confident caregivers. They learn what to do if an infant or child chokes or needs CPR, what to say whencalling 911, how to screen and refuse jobs in a business manner, how toprevent injuries, how to deal with child behavior problems and first aid issues.
In order to successfully complete the 12-hour medically accurate program,students must pass a practical and written test, showing that they havemastered the key concepts and have the skills necessary to handleemergencies.
