Facilitator FAQs What is Safe Sitter®


?


Safe Sitter, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing youth with the life and safety skills they need for when they are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting.


Does this course prepare students to be home alone?


Safe@Home provides instruction to 4th-6th grade students on topics such as safety, handling emergencies, preventing injuries, and first aid. However, each parent must make the decision about whether their child is ready to stay home alone based on the knowledge, skills, maturity, and confidence of their individual child.

What is the legal age for a child to stay home alone?


Most states do not mandate a specific age when a child can be left home alone. However, many states provide guidance for parents about when a child is of an appropriate age and adequately prepared to stay home alone. For more information, contact your state’s department of child and family services.
