The term ``companionship services for the aged or infirm'' is defined in Sec. 552.6. Persons who provide care and protection for babies and young children, who are not physically or mentally infirm, are considered babysitters, not companions. The companion must perform the services with respect to the aged or infirm persons and not generally to other persons. The ``casual'' limitation does not apply to companion services.
