News Release

********************

The Canadian Red Cross will be holding a Babysitting Course on Saturday, May 3, 2008 at North Bay’s military base. The course is aimed at youth aged 10 and over and participants should bring a teddy bear or doll, a pencil and a packed lunch. Instruction begins at 10:00 AM. The course is located at the Chapel Annex on Sterling Road, next to the Military Family Resource Centre, and is open to everyone.

The Babysitting Course focuses on four main areas: caregiving, first aid, injury prevention and leadership. Revisions to the course now approach babysitting as an individual’s first business. To make learning interactive and enjoyable, the course is based on various activities that encourage better skills retention. Participants receive the Babysitter’s Manual, an excellent resource during and after the course that contains checklists, sample résumé, business cards, and other forms. The successful course completion is confirmed through a wallet card.

Call Brett Greene, First Aid Coordinator, at 472-5760 ext 132 or email [email protected] to book today – registration closes Wednesday at 4.00 PM!
