Please Note: The previous Babysitter program and resources are no longer available. Prior to July of 2026, the Saskatchewan Safety Council only provided resource materials for the delivery of the Babysitter training program by individuals or organizations wishing to host and instruct the course. Up until that point, the Council had not delivered babysitter training, accredit, certify, screen, train, or otherwise qualify those who were instructing it in any way. Those delivering the training were not affiliated with the Council. Those instructors with existing materials may use them up, but new orders are not being accepted for the previous version.
