How to Register:

We are excited to announce we are now accepting electronic payments for Safe Sitter!! To pay electronically, please email the completed Safe Sitter Registration Form to: mherzog@gigharborfire.org.  Please note in the body of your email your best contact phone number and which date you would like to register your student for (please note these slots fill up fast, so multiple dates work, please list them in order of preference). 

Once our staff can confirm the student lives within the district, their age, and the space available for your selected date, you will receive an email with a link to make the $40.00 payment. Payment needs to be received within 24 hours to keep the reserved date; otherwise, we will need to open it up to another student.  If there is no space available for your selected date, you will receive a phone call with alternate date options if openings remain.

Emails are checked during regular business hours, Monday – Friday, between 8 am and 5 pm.  If you submit your registration forms outside those hours, our staff will get back to you at their earliest convenience.  Each request will arrive date/time stamped, so we will continue to respond based on the first received. 

If you need an alternate payment option, please contact Melissa at 253-851-3111 ext. 5010 for further assistance.
