. Childcare:
Attention and presence: The babysitter should dedicate herself completely to the childrenduring working hours, maintaining constant supervision, whether they are playing, reading or doing creative activities. It is important that the girls feel safe and loved, so the babysitter must be patient, affectionate and understanding with them.
Establish a routine: Follow a well-defined daily routine, which includes times for playing, learning, meals and rest. The babysitter should adapt to the proposed routine, such as playing with the girls, helping them during meals and encouraging them to do activities that stimulate their creativity and development.
Encouragement and positivity: The babysitter must promote positive behavior, rewarding with praise and encouraging the girls to complete small tasks, such as putting away toys or eating by themselves.
2. Safety and hygiene:
Constant supervision: Make sure that the girls are always under direct supervision, even when playing or when they are doing activities outdoors or at home.
Personal hygiene: Helping girls with daily routines such as brushing their teeth, getting dressed, and maintaining a clean environment (such as tidying up toys or activities). Each phase of the day should be followed so as not to neglect hygiene.
Emergency management: The babysitter should know how to react in case of an emergency, have contact information in case of need, and know the procedures for safety in the home.
3. Activities and entertainment:
Educational games: The babysitter should offer activities that are both fun and educational. For example, reading stories, building games, outdoor games, art activities (coloring, drawing, collage), or motor activities such as dancing or running.
Variety: It is important that the babysitter tries to alternate physical games (for example, running outside) with more calm activities (such as reading a book or doing a puzzle), so that the girls can develop in a balanced way.
Fostering Independence: The babysitter should encourage the girls to take small steps toward independence, such as eating alone, putting away toys, or choosing the games they want to play.
4. Home Behavior and Communication:
Respect for House Rules: The babysitter should follow the rules established in the house, such as mealtimes, bedtimes, and other family habits. Communication about how to deal with any changes in routines or needs is essential.
Respecting Times and Requests: Being punctual and respecting start and end times is important. If there are changes, such as the need for help on the weekend, it is essential to give adequate notice.
5. Communicating with Me:
Daily Updates: The babysitter should give you short updates on the day's status, telling you how meals, play, sleep, and any difficulties or successes went. This can be done through short texts or a chat at the end of the day, but should try not to use the phone in front of the children.
Availability for dialogue: It is important that the babysitter feels comfortable asking for clarifications or sharing observations. Every question, suggestion or problem must be treated with openness and respect.
6. Flexibility and availability:
Adaptability: Although there is a routine, the babysitter must be able to adapt to sudden changes or extra requests (such as an unexpected outing or extra help during the weekend), always with adequate notice from me.
