The goal of the Safe Sitter program is to teach safe babysitting and life skills to children entering grades 6-8. Instructors provide tips to make sitters more confident caregivers. They teach safety and security precautions, such as what to do if a stranger comes to the door, and when and how to call for help. They give information on child development and suggest age-appropriate activities to entertain children and keep them safe. The program gives students hands-on practice in basic life-saving techniques so sitters are prepared to act in a crisis. This course also teaches life and business skills including screening jobs, setting fees, and greeting future employers.
