Safe Sitter Class

May 17, 2008 - 8:30 AM

LCMH Hospital for Women, 1900 W. Gauthier Road

 

 

 Young children cannot always communicate their needs or protect themselves. That’s why the babysitter must be able to handle whatever situation arises. Safe Sitter is a medically accurate, hands-on class that teaches boys and girls ages 11 to 13 how to handle emergencies when caring for children.

SAFE SITTERS LEARN:

• What to do when a child chokes

• Safety for the sitter

• How to call for emergency help

• Babysitting business skills

• Basic childcare skills, including diapering, feeding, etc.

• Howto entertain children and keep them safe

 

 

 

A fee of $35 covers the all-day program ending at 4:30 pm. Scholarships are available based on financial need.  Sitters will need to bring a sack lunch; cold drinks are provided.
