- Know your nanny - conduct a thorough background check and acquire a copy of her or his current driving record.
- Make sure your nanny is CPR/First Aid certified.
- Create a House Book - keep a binder in your home with important safety information, such as any pertinent emergency phone numbers, hospital and pediatrician addresses, copies of your children's medical cards, a consent release for your nanny to make decisions in an emergency, etc.
- Provide your nanny with a cell phone.
- If your child has allergies, make sure your nanny is well-aware.
- Be sure your nanny knows your family's emergency plan.
- Your nanny should always carry your child's medical card, pediatrician's address, and the address of the nearest hospital.
- First Aid Kits - one for the home, one for your nanny's car, and a travel-size kit for the stroller.
- Provide a neighborhood map to be kept in your child's stroller.
- Positive communication is key! You don't want your nanny to be afraid you when an emergency arises.
