The nationally-recognized program was developed by Indianapolis pediatrician Dr. Patricia Keener after a colleague’s toddler choked to death while in the care of an adult sitter who didn’t know what actions to take. Students who complete the Safe Sitter® program gain confidence and learn how, why and where injuries can happen so they can be prevented.

Safe Sitters learn:

  • How, why and where injuries happen so they can prevent them
  • How to decide the seriousness of an injury if it does happen 
  • How to get help if needed 
  • How to keep themselves safe when babysitting or at home alone 
  • How a child’s age affects how to care for them 
  • How to prevent problem behavior 
  • How to rescue a choking infant or child 
  • How to run a babysitting business 
  • How to be safe when online or using a cell phone 

Students must be at least 11 years old by the day of the class.

To graduate from the Safe Sitter® course and receive a completion card, students must pass a rigorous practical and written test that indicates their mastery of key concepts and life and safety skills.
