Announce Complete Details 7-Week Baby Sitters Course Is your baby sitter a graduate of a baby sitters' course? Thousands are throughout the Durham Region, thanks to the Durham Region Tubercu- losis and Respiratory Disease Association (formerly Ontario County TB & RD Association) who started sponsoring the baby sitting courses in 1960. Where is the connection be- tween tubercuksis and baby sitting and how and why did the TB Association become involved in baby sitting? These are questions often asked of TB Association members. It all started 14 years ago when two young people who had been looking after young children were found to have TB and had passed the disease on to several children they had cared for. Since that time several thousand young peo- ple, boys and girls, have graduated from baby sitting courses sponsored by the TB & RD Association. , The course consists of 7 lectures and one of the requirements, before a grad- uation certificate can be obtained, is a tuberculin test. The baby sitting courses are held in co-operation with local 'Y's, schools, , Girl Guides, Neighbourhood Recreation Associations, C. G. I. T.,etc. The Association supplies a Baby Sitters' Manual for course leaders, record books, health literature, examination papers, graduation certifi- cates to the students partici- pating. Prizes are awarded by the Association for top exam- ination papers and record books. The record book is intended to provide refer- sitter can reter later, as wen as to illustrate to the course leader that the student bas understood the course content. Notes on all lectures are kept in this baby sitting record book which is marked at the end of the course and a prize is awarded for the best. As well as the materials supplied, the students themselves assemble material on baby sitting, safety and health. The lectures are under the direction of the course leader and she may be assisted by a registered nurse, a doctor, minister, fireman, or a St. John Ambulance represent- ative. Parents take part in a discussion in the last session. The nurse explains good health rules to the students and also shows them how to care for children. They are shown how to diaper, feed and bathe a baby; how to handle mealtime, bedtime and bath- time and even what to do should a child get sick while in their care. A lecture on emergency actions and first aid is given by either a St. John Ambu- lance representative or a fireman. The students are told what to do for cuts, burns, nosebleeds, bumps, falls, choking, and even the swal- lowing of poisons and medi- cines. Above all, they are told, is the need to remain calm in any emergency. As many as 25 pieces of literature are given out throughout the program and cover such topics as first aid, the Canad- ian Food Guide, a playtime book which outlines activities, songs and games to keep children happy, pamphlets on lungs and their diseases and brochure on the Christmas Seal Story, as this program (as well as all other sponsored by the TB & RD Association) is made possible through the Christmas Seal Camnaign. To help develop a sense of responsibilit towards baby sitting an to stress its importance as a position of trust in which the sitter is completely responsible for human life, punctuality, hon- esty, good manners and good health and appearnace as well as a love of children is emphasized. Some groups giving the course make one of the requirements for graduation the assembling of a kit that a sitter should take with her whenever she babysits. The kit should contain things to keep a child happy while under ber care. Behaviour at specific ages is also one of the topics explored. To give the student an understanding of the importance of play in child development, play activities are related to age levels. Students are at the same time made aware of playtime hazards. At some time during the 7 week course each student care for a child for six hours without pay. The mother of the child is required to complete a form telling how the sitter made out. The sitter is then asked to write a short essay about this event. The final lecture is often one of the highlights of the course. This evening takes the form of a parent-sitter discussion. The aim of the discussion is to clarify the responsibility of the sitter and also the respons- ibility of the parents who hire them. Among the topics dis- cussed are using t he tele- p hone, helping themselves to ood, sleeping while babysit- ting and having friends over. Of course, the question of how much a babysitter should be paid, as well as extra pay for extra duties also came up for discussion too. One of the parent's responsibilities they talk about is the proper preparation of the sitter before the parents leave the house. Sitters should also be told about the child's habits, any dangers; they should be given emergency numbers, as well as a telephone number where they can be reached; they should be told the rate of pay and be provided with safe transportation home. One en- tire session is devoted to a written examination. The two students obtainin the highest marks are awarLddprizes. Parents of the students are invited to the graduation exercises. A representative of the TB & RD Association presents certificates to all the students wbo passed the examination and prizes to the two who obtained the highest marks on the written test and 2 prizes to those judged to have the best project work book. Many mothers will apprec- iate this statement from an essay written by a prize winning student which reads, 'A mother's job is a very difficult one."
