Safe Sitter Program | Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's

About the program

Safe Sitter® courses provide young teens (ages 11-17) life and safety skills needed for babysitting.

Participants will learn how to:

Perform child and infant CPR techniques
Rescue a child or infant who is choking
Care for children of all ages
Prevent problem behavior
Prevent possible injury and decide on the seriousness if someone is injured

To become a Safe Sitter®, students must pass a written and practical exam. Parents and friends are invited to attend the graduation ceremony to recognize the Safe Sitters® at the end of the day.

Register for a Safe Sitter® course

The Safe Sitter® course is available to young teens ages 11-17. Pre-registration is required as the class size is limited. Registration is on first-come-first-serve basis. Each class requires a minimum of five registrants. If the required five registrations are not met, the class will be canceled.
