We offer SafeSitter®, a babysitting course, to teens ages 11 to 17. The course develops knowledge of first aid, rescue skills, and behavior management techniques and provides the experience to handle medical, behavioral, or household emergencies. Participants will also learn how to feed and diaper small children and create their own personalized toolkit of activities, crafts, and games to take with them to babysitting jobs.
