SUMMARY:Free Babysitting Class "Safe Sitter"

This two-day training is offered at no cost\, including lunch each day and is open to all Copper Country students in sixth through eighth grade. \n  \n“It’s not just about babysitting; it’s about being trusted\, learning independence and gaining skills you can use in everyday life\,” said Heather Johnson\, Safe Sitter instructor. “Taking this course is a great way for young people to learn the skills and confidence needed to care for children safely and responsibly.” \n  \nThe class teaches important skills like what to do in an emergency\, how to manage behavior\, how to care for infants and children and even how to navigate tricky situations. Students learn and practice basic first aid\, CPR skills\, and how to help a choking infant and child. \n  \n“The course also emphasizes responsibility\, professionalism and communication with families\, which are valuable life skills that extend beyond babysitting\,” said Johnson. \n  \nSafe Sitter is free to attend\, but registration is required as seats are limited. Space is limited and we do expect this class to be full. Sign up for Safe Sitter by visiting coppershores.org. Registration closes on Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026.
