Babysitting Seminar to be offered at VMH

Veterans Memorial Hospital will sponsor a Babysitting Seminar Saturday, March 14 from 8:30 a.m to Noon. The class will be held in the Large Conference Room located on the lower level of Veterans Memorial Hospital.

Intended participants are individuals 10 years of age and older who are responsible for their own care after school until their parents come home from work, and individuals who care for other children in or outside of their own home. Girls are not the sole babysitters in this society. Boys are also welcome and encouraged to attend.

Topics to be covered include fire and personal safety, accident prevention and emergency actions, nutritious snacks and basic care of children.

Pre-registration is required by March 10, as seats are limited. Only the first 30 registrants will be accepted for the class. Online registration is available at www.veteransmemorialhospital.com. Contact Corinne Cook, RN, instructor, at 563-568-3411 for more information.
