When choosing who to leave the child with, you must take into account:
- Do not leave them with strangers and even less with people without experience in caring for babies. It is necessary to have concrete and reliable references about the person who takes care of our children.
- Do not leave children in the care of adolescents. Adolescents can have a good relationship with babies but they are not necessarily efficient when faced with a risk situation.
- Discuss and write down (clearly and concisely) the instructions regarding clothing, food and, if necessary, the baby’s medications. It is recommended that the parents are in charge of bathing the babies a few months old before leaving home or upon their return.
- Familiarize yourself with the whole house, especially those places that are dangerous.
- Communicate with parents quickly and permanently by phone. It is always advisable to leave the telephone number of relatives, neighbors or friends who are familiar with the children and, if possible, who live nearby for any emergency.
- Have in a visible place the emergency phone numbers: the pediatrician, the nearest pediatric health center (public or private), the police and the fire department, so that they can quickly access them in case of emergency.
- Consult the parents immediately by phone, in any situation that the person caring for the baby does not know how to handle or about which they have not received precise instructions.
- Take personal initiatives regarding instructions on clothing, food and medications (when necessary) of the baby.
- Open the door of the house to anyone, unless their presence has been anticipated by the parents.
- Leave children asleep or awake alone, not even for a minute, even if they are a regular and experienced caregiver.
The baby’s care must be meticulous, the more careful the smaller it is. Our babies are very vulnerable and totally depend on the care that we adults have for them.
