Safe Sitter® Course in March

Pearce is one of 850 Safe Sitter® teaching sites throughout the United States. Safe Sitter® was founded in 1980 by Indianapolis pediatrician Patricia A. Keener, M.D. after a colleague's 18-month-old choked to death while under an adult sitter's care. Dr. Keener developed Safe Sitter® as a medically accurate instructional program designed for teens no younger than 11, the age when many begin to stay home alone or watch younger siblings.

In general, inadequate emphasis is placed on the magnitude of the responsibility a young teen accepts when caring for themselves and others. Most young teens lack the knowledge of first aid, rescue skills, behavior management techniques, and life experiences necessary for handling medical, behavioral, or household emergencies which might occur.

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.

 

Pearce offers SafeSitter® as a 6-week babysitting course to teens age 11 to 17. The spring session will be held on Thursdays, March 5 through April 9 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The cost for Foundation members is $30; members $40; and non-members $50.
