3. Employer cell phone number: 555-555-0100 (Mrs. Miller’s cell phone)


4. Alternate phone number: 555-555-0103 (Mr. Miller’s cell phone number)


5. Tell student that the next door neighbor, Mrs. Smith, is available if the student needs help while babysitting. Mrs. Smith’s number is 555-555-0101.


Note to Instructor


It is important to record the area code of each phone number, particularly with the prevalence of cell phone numbers.


In large urban areas a street can have the same name but run through several adjoining towns.


In a few parts of the country, there is no 9-1-1 service. If your students live in an area without 9-1-1, give them the emergency response phone numbers for fire, police, and ambulance service.


CHALLENGE #2 – BABYSITTING INFORMATION


• Tell students they need to know about the children’s routines, allergies, and other information before the employer goes!


• Choose another student to ask the babysitting information questions but have all students write the answers on their Safe Sitter® Information Note Pad.


• Instructor role-plays Mrs. Miller, sharing the following information in response to questions from the student:


– James goes to bed at 7:30. You need to change his diaper and put on his pajamas. Then he watches a Winnie the Pooh video and takes his Pooh Bear to bed. His night light must be on.


– James has had dinner already.


– James likes to play with his colorful blocks. He also has several toys that light up and make sounds, and he enjoys those as well.


– If James gets hungry, there are toddler snacks in the pantry in a labeled basket.


– James loves music and particularly likes it when someone sings to him.


– James has no allergies.


• The student should read back what was written. Point out they can’t write down every word but need to take notes.


• Emphasize the importance of asking about comfort helps like favorite blankets, stuffed animals, or pacifiers.


• Emphasize the importance of asking the employer for tips in getting the child to calm down or cooperate.
