The Family Birth Center at Ministry Saint Clare’s Hospital, part of Ascension is now accepting registrations for Safe Sitter Classes to be held in the months of February and March Weston. Safe Sitter is a medically accurate, competency-based babysitting preparation course designed for students in grade 6-8 to be safe when they’re home alone watching younger siblings or babysitting.
“Injuries are the leading cause of death in children up to age 5, so today’s babysitters need to know more than just the basics of child care,” said Michelle Pagel, RN, Clinical Practice Support Coordinator at Ministry Saint Clare’s. “The lessons are filled with fun activities and role playing exercises.”

Ministry Saint Clare’s one day Safe Sitter program will discuss how babysitting is a business and what your child will need to do to be safe and successful babysitters. Included in the class are accepting the jobs that are right for you, child care essentials, infant and child choking rescue, first-aid and rescue skills, behavior management and other safety. Safe Sitter Classes will be held on Saturday, Feb., 11 and Friday, March 24 in the Ministry Saint Clare’s Foundation Conference Room from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Participants should use parking lot and entrance #2 for best access to the program on the campus of the Weston Regional Medical Center. Parents are encouraged to attend a brief ceremony that will conclude the Safe Sitter program.

Cost for the class is $50 and includes a student handbook. Participants should bring a bag lunch or money for lunch in the Bread Basket Restaurant. Financial assistance is available for families who cannot afford the normal fee, please call for more information.

Advanced registration is requested and space is limited. Online registration is available at ministryhealth.org/birthcenters or by calling 800.362.9900. If you have questions, please contact Michelle Pagel at [email protected]
