Health Carer

Our health care system may be changing. However, one thing will always remain the same: your desire to show your community that you care about its safety-today and in the future.  

If you are a not-for-profit hospital required by the IRS to provide community benefit in order to maintain your tax-exempt status, Safe Sitter® can be a valuable part of the package of services that you provide.

With Safe Sitter®

  • You get a program from babysitting specialists that enhances your community education and outreach.
  • You get a medically-accurate program for young adolescents (no younger than 11) that was created by a nationally-recognized pediatrician, and is held in high regard by the medical and educational communities.
  • You get a program that requires a minimum of prep time. We teach you how to teach it!
  • You get a program that's inexpensive to start and maintain, but the potential PR for your organization is invaluable.
  • You get the satisfaction of knowing you're providing a program that really saves lives. In fact, there have been many documented lives saved by Safe Sitter® graduates- not only while babysitting but during everyday life.

Here's how one not-for-profit hospital explains why the costs to provide Safe Sitter® are counted in its community benefit report: 

"When parents hire a babysitter who has gone through the Safe Sitter® course, they can feel confident that they are leaving their children with someone trained in rescue skills, basic first aid and nurturing and safe childcare techniques. These skills are valuable for any life responsibilities, not just babysitting occasions. Parents and guardians are always impressed with the results. And this is the great benefit that the Safe Sitter® program offers to our community."
~Irina Bassis, Director of Community Relations for Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, Iowa

An Important Note About Training:  You must be connected to a registered Safe Sitter® teaching site before you may be trained in the curriculum to become an Instructor.  It's a fairly quick and easy application and approval process.
