What Safe Sitter Inc does
Mission
Safe sitter is a life and safety skills program with a medical basis that trains adolescents and others to be safe while home alone as well as safely care for younger children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The organization prepares young adolescents for the profound responsibilities of nurturing and protecting children. The organization has almost 900 teaching sites from coast to coast. Each year almost 35,000 young adolescents take the course. There are over 2,800 safe sitter instructors. Most young adolescents lack the knowledge of first aid, rescue skills, behavior management techniques and life experiences necessary for handling medical, behavior, or household emergencies which might occur. Successful completion of an education program addressing these competencies should be a community standard for all those who care for children. Students in all courses must demonstrate acceptable skills in infant/child cpr. Students in the 12 hour course must also demonstrate the ability to apply injury and behavior management techniques. All sites registered to teach safe sitter utilize only safe sitter trained instructors for student instruction thus ensuring high quality and compliance with teaching methodologies. There have been over 150 documented cases of lives saved by the organization's graduates using their knowledge and skills.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $770k to $569k (−26%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
2% of SAFE SITTER INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $141 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
