Safe Sitter® began because of a tragedy: the accidental death of a nurse’s young child while in the care of an adult babysitter.
Patricia A. Keener, M.D. recognized the vulnerability of young children when cared for by unprepared providers, so she created a program to teach young teens how to be better, safer babysitters. For more than 35 years, Safe Sitter® has been a leader in providing life skills, safety skills, and child care training for youth. Now a national nonprofit organization with over 900 Registered Providers in all 50 states, Safe Sitter® continues to help build safer communities by providing youth with the skills they need to be safe while home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting.

The kids don't float board is provided to the District through a grant, because of the amount of water frontage in the area. This is a loaner board that provides life jackets for children if a boater forgot one.
Remember Washington state law (RCW 79A. 60.160) requires children ages 12 years and younger to wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket or vest on vessels less than 19 feet long.
The loaner board is located near the boat launch in the City of Brewster, WA. If you don't find your size on the board call or come by the ambulance station located at:
412 W. Indian Ave., Brewster, WA.
509-689-4041.
When you are finished using it for the day please return it to the loaner board so more people can enjoy this resource.
