Horizon Health Offers Two Safe Sitter Classes in June

Horizon Health will offer two Safe Sitter Classes in June.

Participants can choose to attend the June 9 class or the June 16 class. Each class will take place from 8:30 am to 3 pm at the Horizon Health Education Center, 15197 US Highway 150, in Paris.

Safe Sitter is a nationally recognized class for boys and girls ages 11-13. It teaches children home-alone safety skills when caring for themselves, younger siblings, or while babysitting.

The class provides tips on safety and security precautions, facts about child development and age-appropriate activities, and explains the business aspects of babysitting. Other benefits include enhanced self-esteem, introductory employment skills, personal safety, and other life skills.

Each class is $50, which covers materials and lunch. No parent is required to be present except for picking up and dropping off the child.

Register for the June 9 class by June 2. Register for the June 16 class by June 9. You will be asked to specify which class you are attending when registering at MyHorizonHealth.org/Classes.
