ISU Extension and Outreach, Tama County, invites all boys and girls who have completed grades 5-8, to learn how to become a great babysitter. This training will take place on Thursday, June 8 at the Toledo Public Library. The class will meet from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $10 for snacks and supplies. Bring a sack lunch.

Participants will learn about: the responsibilities of a babysitter; caring for infants and young children; age appropriate toys and activities; safety and how to handle emergencies and basic first aid. All participants will go home with a bag filled with activity ideas to take with them babysitting and a first aid kit. This is a great event for those who might be staying at home with younger siblings too!
