One of the hardest decisions to make as a parent is arranging child care for your child if you return to work outside the home. There are many child care options available and a variety of resources to look at and ask about each child care option listed. As an in-home babysitter for several years, and now, I want to provide some tips on what to look for if your family chooses the option of personal babysitter-infant services offered in the sitting home.
Special things to look for and look for when looking for a marriage partner who keeps your child in their home;
Health –
1) Look around the house, especially the places designated for your child to sleep, eat and play during the day and keep age-appropriate furniture or accessories that they fall into children or it can be easily broken by the hands … this type and region is generally ready for offspring.
2) Basic first aid training and first aid kit are handy and necessary for any married couple, ask enough questions to make sure the married couple can handle minor accidents as they happen and know what to do in case of illness or accidents.
3) If there are concerns in the house, ask not only if the pet has been hit but if the pet has been around of your child’s age, and likewise if the pet wanders on cue from the house or from the children’s area.
4) It is best not to take it for granted that mothers smoke around their children, be careful and ask if someone smokes at home, not just in the marriage.
Communication–
1) Make sure it’s clear what hours your child will be at the babysitter and what exactly you’re going to do if it’s later than the agreed time to take your baby out of the crib.
2) There is a need to pay wages and days, agreed and double-checked, so that no one makes mistakes in recent times.
3) Understand that the midwives should be contacted if for some reason, such as illness or appointments, you do not bring your child to the midwives and how that happens with the intention of telling the midwives what to expect.
4) Ask the midwife what the policy is, if your child is sick or injured and you need to be contacted quickly – are they necessary numbers and phone numbers close and easily discernible?
5) What if the mother is unable to take care of the child for some reason, be it illness or appointments?
Activities–
While the mother-in-law does not necessarily offer a choreographed, detailed daily routine, you must feel comforted that the children play happily and freely with the rich interaction from childhood. Some television is definitely fine, but not as much as babysitting and zoning out all day. Communication is important, the babysitter can simply join play on the go and provide lots of learning and fun .
behavior
1) Does the baby smile and greet not only you as a parent, but also your child on arrival? A babysitter should see it as her job to enjoy the children and their play.
2) The pleasure factor–while working parents often like not to choose whether their children are like their babysitter and he has a good time there, this is simply not true. While marital duty is not a song and dance for children, their happiness and continence while in marital care is important and a telltale sign of the kind of duty a mother does in caring for children day in and day out. While some confusion is to be expected in a child when he is left in a marriage, you as a parent know how to say that separation is the result of fear or extreme illness. Over time, the child’s disturbance should be reduced for a while.
These are all general ideas of the kinds of things to consider when leaving your child at home with the mother, either on a daily basis or now and again
The most important point of all is that marriages are truly happy to be with children and the rest will then happen naturally, for if one really cares for children, their goal is their safety and happiness.
