In the Autumn, family social activity generally in- creases, which means parents will •be away from home some evenings visiting friends or at- tending receptions, concerts, the theatre films. Autumn also is a time when many mothers take part or full-time jobs, Both of these situations likely will require the employment of sitters. The first step is to make sure the sitter is mature and com- petent. Seek out those who are recommended either by friends or a reliable agency. Next, review the special needs of the children and make sure the sitter is aware of them and how to deal with them. If possible, arrange an advance meeting of the sitter and the children. An instruction sheet for the sitter should include any im- portant rules of your home, plus reminders of special situations and how to deal with them, The instruction sheet also should include all telephone numbers which may be needed in THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1972 an emergency, and most im- portant, a telephone number where you can be reached. It also is useful to make an arrangement with a good neigh- bor to stand by to assist the sitter if necessary. Check the first aid kit to make sure it is adequately stocked, and make sure that dangerous fluids and substances are carefully stored out of reach of the children. If you have a baby, it is especially important to discuss its schedules and the possibility of accidents with the sitter. Suffocation, falls and choking are the three most serious threats to infants. Therefore, the sitter should be instructed to make regular and fairly frequent in- spections of the baby if it is in its crib and to be alert to strange sounds which may indicate trouble. You also should attend to your policy concerning the sitter bringing guests and using the telephone. Guests may distract the sitter and, if you like to check by telephone when you are away from home, it could b' very disconcerting if your sitter keeps the line busy.
