Mark your calendars for two (2) popular classes coming up during the first couple weeks in October. Babysitting Training, Saturday- October 4th from 9am-noon and CPR Training, Tuesday- October 7th from 6pm-7:30pm.

Babysitting Training- This program is offered to young people ages 11+ and will be instructed by Debbie LaFlamme. Debbie is a licensed Massachusetts Day Care Provider with over 25 years of experience. She has been teaching this course in cities and towns for the past five (5) years. Parents are looking for responsible, loyal and trustworthy tends to watch their children. A babysitter's class can better prepare young adults to care for a baby or young child of family and friends. This course will teach the basics to help the babysitter: interview with parents, learn infant and toddler care (diapering, feeding techniques, creative reading, activities for young children and appropriate snacks), handle bedtime issues, choose safe and age appropriate toys and games, perform basic First-Aid (choking, cuts, puncture wounds, bruises, eye injuries, nosebleeds, tooth injuries, burns, seizures, poisoning, bites) Overall the participants will learn tips for a safe babysitting experience including setting up a “code” with their parents in case of Emergency. 

     We ask participants to pack a light snack, drink or a light lunch while attending this class on Saturday, October 4th from 9am-noon at the Hamilton-Wenham Recreation Center. Register online today to secure your spot in this popular class at www.hwrecreation.com

CPR Training- What a great follow-up class option to our Babysitting Training. This one day workshop will cover CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) Training for infant, child and adult. CPR certified cards are included in the class price upon class completion. Our instructor, Skip Mullin, will help you recognize the signs and steps needed when an individual experiences a medical emergency when their breathing or heartbeat has stopped. CPR can help oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more advanced care arrives. Take the time to learn the proper lifesaving technique.
