NORWAY – Stephens Memorial Hospital’s Family Birthplace is excited to offer the newly updated Safe Sitter(R) course. The class will be held on Tuesday, April 18, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm in the Stephens Memorial Hospital Boardroom, 181 Main Street.
Safe Sitter(R) is a national organization founded in 1980 by Indianapolis pediatrician, Dr. Patricia A. Keener, after a colleague’s 18-month old choked to death while under an adult sitter’s care. The program is a medically accurate, hands-on instructional program designed for young adolescents that teaches boys and girls how to handle emergencies when caring for children.
Stephens Memorial Hospital has four Safe Sitter(R) Certified instructors that offer classes during school vacations. Safe Sitters learn: Infant & child CPR, choking procedure, safety for the sitter, how to call for emergency help, babysitting business skills, basic child care skills, and how to entertain children and keep them safe. The classes are geared for students 11 years and older.
The fee for the class is $50. A scholarship in the amount of $15 is available upon request. The registration deadline for this class is April 16. For information or to register your son, daughter, or your babysitter, call 743-5933 x 6951. There are still openings in all classes call today to register.
