A Safe Sitter® course for young teens will be held on Saturday, June 11 at Gifford Health Care in Randolph. Anyone in grades sixth through eighth is eligible. The one-day course provides hands-on practice in lifesaving techniques to young teens so they are equipped with the skills and confidence to act in an emergency.
More than 600,000 young teens have graduated from the medically-accurate program. They learn basic first aid and techniques on how to rescue a choking infant and child. Students also receive instruction on how a child’s age affects how to care for them, how to prevent problem behavior and how to run their own babysitting business. Students who graduate from a Safe Sitter® course receive a completion card demonstrating that they know how to use their skills in situations they encounter.
The cost of the course is $35 per student. Class size is limited.
