Basic first aid kit

Hey guys,
I am so sorry for not posting for about 2-3 months. I have been super busy with school and babysitting! I am going to be posting a lot of new content on this page.
Basic first aid kits:
I always bring a first aid kit with me to babysitting jobs. These are so handy.
You will need:
  • ·         Band-Aids of various sizes
  • ·         Tweezers
  • ·         Antiseptic ointment/Antiseptic powder
  • ·         Panadol- Nurofen, Paracetamol (most kids can’t swallow tablets)
  • ·         Bandages
  • ·         Scissors
  • ·         Gloves
  • ·         Splinter probe- for getting splinters out.
  • ·         Tissues
  • ·         Red flannel (for wiping away blood so the colour doesn’t scare them)
  • ·         Burn cream
  • ·         Medicine syringe for liquid medicines
  • ·         Small treat- to take their mind off the pain (hard lollipops are good0
  • ·         Water bottle- to wash dirt off
  • ·         Medium sized plastic container or first aid bag
  • ·         Alcohol swabs
  • ·         Cotton balls/buds


 There you go. An easy first aid kit to bring to your jobs

    Awesome!!! the red flannel is a REALLY good idea! I had never heard that before! Going to add it to my kit! :) Two things, you should always check with parents before giving any medicine to children. Families usually have at home what they want you to use. 2nd, if you are CPR certified, put a CPR barrier in it! :) Great post!!!

Food Safety

Hey guys, Today’s post will be about food safety. I found some useful tips on preparing food, handling food and serving food. 1       Wash your hands. Remember to wash with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds, before and after handling food, before feeding infants and children’s, and before and after changing nappies.        Wash eating areas with warm and soapy water. This includes tables, benches, plates, bowls, cups and cutlery.   Always watch infants and children when they are eating.        Avoid feeding children under 5 years old, food that is small, round or hard. This can include hotdogs, whole grapes, lollies, popcorn, nuts, carrots, apple chunks, and gum.        Keep dishwashing detergent and soap, away from little kids, to avoid accidental poisoning,        Ask the parents for specific instruction on how to safely prepare baby bottles and food. ...
