Garrett Regional Medical Center (GRMC) will be offering a Safe Sitter course on May 4, 2024, from 9:00 AM until 3:30 PM. The class is held in the GRMC hospital boardroom. The Safe Sitter course is designed to prepare those in sixth grade and up to be safe when they are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. The instructor-led class is filled with fun games and role-playing exercises. Participants will get to use manikins to practice important rescue skills. Attendees will also learn first aid and safety, childcare, and business skills. There is a $40 class registration fee and a pre-registration deadline of April 22, 2024.
