To thrive as a Wellstar Sitter, you need strong observational skills, basic patient care knowledge, and a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with hospital communication systems and patient safety protocols is often required, and completion of basic life support (BLS) certification may be preferred by employers. Compassion, patience, and attentiveness are standout soft skills, as sitters must provide consistent, supportive care while monitoring patient behavior. These qualities are essential to ensure patient safety, comfort, and effective coordination with other healthcare staff.
