Here are some TIPS to add for your Newborn, Baby Care, Childcare jobs, or someone you know that performs this work.
The book Baby Signs, by Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn, is a terrific resource for parents with children under three years old. It also makes for a great Baby Shower gift. For children who attend schools that use American Sign Language (ASL), ASL can afford the same benefits as baby signs as long as the signs are simple. Learning Baby Signs is an important language parents and childcare providers need to know that reinforces baby bonding too.

Another important topic for children is vaccines. Robert Kennedy Jr. provides a detailed PDF file about child vaccinations you can download to give a Pediatrician, read for further information, or forward to your boss or someone you know. We all need to collectively advocate for children and their health as the controversy around vaccinations continues. Children are undeniably our greatest treasures.
For Newborns, Swaddlebees diapers covers with unbleached cotton prefolds and a snappi to hold it together. They are very good at containing leaks. I love all the different colors and patterns that Swaddlebees comes in and they make for really cute baby pictures.
Toddlers are a great age and delightful to teach always best done by example. “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle†is simple with toddlers. Reduce becomes a way of  life as they see we rely on less stuff and use our imaginations to live a GREEN lifestyle. Reuse becomes a daily activity by trying to reuse everything (or at least minimize), including making fun crafts and home made toys kids love to participate in.  The box a present came in can be the start of a reuse game or craft project. Recycle becomes a way life as we teach our kids to donate their used clothes and toys. I also recycle ribbons and gift bags along with wrappings if at all possible.

A great TIP for dealing with KIDS and shopping is to know that it often helps to let your child pick out one or two things at the store. Instead of saying, “No,” (which most likely will immediately make them respond with a “Yes!”) when a child asks for something give them an alternative by saying, “Let’s write that down.” Carry a pad and pen to write down a list of things your child points out. When you’re done with shopping, read back a few of the things that might be good choices, and let him/her pick one or two on the list. You can add items you believe would be good to include as a joint idea by gently directing them to select it. This interactive exchange provides a narrowing of things under your control, and teaches the child there is a process involved for buying the child participates in. Helps to avoid most tantrums. Most upsets are caused by tiredness, hunger, thirst, or a child not feeling good. Always prepare ahead to avoid them and refrain from shopping with a child who’s unwell.
It’s good advice for all Nannies to take the Child Passenger Seat Technician Certification course, which teaches how to install car seats correctly. Keeping your baby well protected is imperative because motor vehicle crashes are one of the single greatest killers of Americans according to safety statistics. What to look for in a car seat (or infant carrier) and how to use it as Itsabelly Baby Planners recommends for a quick list is below.
