Parents, would your babysitter know what to do if your child began to choke?

Injuries are a part of childhood, but many avoidable and unintentional deaths can be prevented.

Safe Sitter® courses have helped over 500,000 adolescents across the country learn basic lifesaving and safety techniques.

We’re proud to offer the Safe Sitter® course. This medically-accurate course helps young teens aged 11 and up feel more confident in their ability to care for younger children. It can even help them feel more comfortable staying home alone. As a parent, you’ll feel more secure having a Safe Sitter® in your home.

To enroll your sitter or your own son or daughter, call us at 360-378-5152 extension 3 or email us at prevention@sanjuanems.org.

The Safe Sitter® program may save someone you love.
