"We had just read the Safe Sitter® student newsletter and discussed the hero stories where Safe Sitter® graduated had used the rescue skills they learned in class. When my youngest daughter choked it was fresh in my mind that my 13 year old daughter who is a Safe Sitter® graduate would know what to do. She did the abdominal thrust one time and the candy came flying out. It was one of the scariest moments of my life."

"I am a proud mother of a Safe Sitter® trained pre-teen daughter! I can not express how impressed I was with your program. She came home excited about the new things she learned every day of the class. So many things were taught that are so vital, yet often never thought of by parents when teaching a child the responsibilities of babysitting. I have become an excellent referral for your program and have spread the word and have encouraged friends who also have children that are interested in babysitting. I strongly urge parents to protect their babysitting children by training them to be Safe Sitters, where they learn not only about safety of the children they watch, but also about their OWN safety!!

Raleigh, North Carolina

“I would like to commend your organization. My 11-year-old daughter, Amanda, just completed a Safe Sitter® course. I also have a 13-month-old daughter, Madyson, and I thought this would be a good experience for Amanda. Little did I know how soon Amanda would be using what she learned in this class!

Madyson was choking on a piece of apple and I panicked and didn’t know what to do. I took Madyson out of her swing and gave her to Amanda and told her to ‘do her thing.’ Madyson then coughed up the apple and started to cry.

I was so emotional. I asked Amanda if she would have known what to do before she took the Safe Sitter® class and she said, ‘no.’ This could have truly been a tragic evening, but Thank God Amanda knew what to do. She was truly a lifesaver for me that night!

Thank you, again, for your organization and I hope that it continues for a very long time. I will recommend it to every parent I know.”

Benbrook, Texas

"My daughter just finished your course and I was very impressed with everything that she was taught. She talked for over an hour about what she learned and said that it was a lot of fun. Safe Sitter® is a wonderful example of what people can do to help our children grow, be confident, and learn how to be parents in the future. Please continue all your hard work."
