Baptist Health Lexington Safe Sitter Class

(Currently suspended due to COVID)  Safe Sitter is a medically accurate instructional program designed for boys and girls 11 to 14 years old. The immediate goal of Safe Sitter is to reduce the number of preventable deaths among children being cared for by babysitters. See www.SafeSitter.org for more information about the program.

Classes are held at Baptist Health Lexington, 1700 Nicholasville Road. An email with specific directions to the classroom will be sent a few days prior to class. Please have your child bring a sack lunch and the two attached forms to class. Students must be signed in/out by an accompanying adult. A graduation ceremony is held the last 30 minutes and all parents are encouraged to attend.  Pre-payment of $85 is required with registration ($68 for Baptist Health employees using discount code EMPBHL).
