Norwescap offers ‘Safe Sitter Program'

Newton — Norwescap's Children and Family Resource Service held a "Safe Sitter Program" in Newton recently. The program is designed for young adolescent babysitters, between 11 and 13 years of age, to increase their ability to provide safe, nurturing care for children and to respond appropriately to medical emergencies. The long-term goal is to prepare young people for their future responsibilities as parents. For information about the program, or to bring it to your area, call 973-383-3461.
