SAFE SITTER CLASS (11 - 13 years old) Safe Sitter is more than just a babysitting course; it advocates for safe childcare, good parenting skills and responsible adolescents. Instructors are enthusiastic and committed to teens, and all are certified to teach Safe Sitter.
The class offers children (11-13 years old) infant and child CPR, infant and child choking rescue, first aid, how to manage emergencies, babysitting as a business, injury prevention & management, behavior management, safety for the sitter, and childcare essentials.
