FARMINGTON, MAINE¾
The Education Department at Franklin Memorial Hospital is partnering with Tri County EMS to host a Baby Sitter Certification Course on Tuesday, April 22. This one day course during school vacation week runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Bass Room at Franklin Memorial Hospital. The course is open to anyone in the 7th grade or older. The cost is $55 which needs to be paid in advanced.
The class will feature babysitter basics including feeding, burping a baby, spoon feeding, crying, behavioral problems, and discipline; and first aid for emergency response. All participants will become certified by the American Heart Association in first aid and CPR.
A full-color book complete with illustrations is included. It is an easy-to-follow format that lets former students use the book as a quick reference while babysitting.
Anyone interested in attending should include the name of the participant on the check along with payment of $55 payable to Tri-County EMS, 300 Main Street, Lewiston, ME 04240. The deadline for registration is Friday, April 11.
