Safety Whys is a copyrighted Babysitter Training Program for youth ages 11-17 that began in Helotes, TX in 1989 and had since expanded to Floresville, TX. It aims at a continuum for setting quality standards for youth tending to young ones in their care.
A three-year project of getting 2,500 signatures, representing 45 states has accomplished getting a National Babysitter’s Day Observance on the Saturday before the established Mother’s Day. On June 14, 2002, with the assistance of U.S. Congressman Henry Bonilla, this National Observance was added to the Chase’s Calendar of Events.
The first National Annual Babysitter’s Day was Saturday, May 10th, 2003.
