2025 Safe Sitter Class - October 11

The Schneck Foundation is excited to add another Safe Sitter class in 2025!

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.
