Sit for Survival
Babysitters all across the country — ages 13 and older — can help moms around the world by foregoing a day's or evening’s earnings to support Save the Children’s Survive to 5 campaign.
If you are a babysitter interested in serving moms globally, follow the simple steps below! Your efforts can help Save the Children train community health workers to deliver lifesaving advice and care to women and children.
