Halloween is a great time to remind children of all ages about safety concerns! Does your teenage babysitter know what to do in case of emergency? When a teenager accepts a babysitting job, they accept the responsibility for a child’s life. Safe Sitter is a medically accurate program that teaches teenagers ages 11 to 13 how to handle emergencies when caring for children.
Saturday, October 31, 2009, Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center will present a Safe Sitter class, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., at the medical center in Sevierville. This class teaches safe and nurturing child techniques, behavior management skills, and appropriate responses to medical emergencies.
Safe Sitter has been recognized for excellence by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This will be the last course offered for 2009. The cost for the course is $20, and includes lunch for the participants. Participants must pre-register for the class, and can do so by calling 865.429.6643.
Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center is a 79-bed acute care hospital and a 54-bed nursing home that has been serving the healthcare needs of Sevier County residents and visitors since 1965. A member of Covenant Health, Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center provides the right care, right here.
