8 No Non-cents Nanna Rules for Babysitters

This old No Non-cents Nanna knows it is time to take some of her babysitter’s rules out of moth balls. Rules to keep every one safe really can be fun for everyone.

Meet the No Non-cents Nann is her youth. Nanna knows all children feel more happy and safe when they have boundaries set consisitently.

 

Mary Poppins inspired me with her spoon full of sugar and now I have the No Non-cents Nanna way!

 

No Non-cents Nanna encourages gentle touches and inside voices.

Here is what I know from years  decades of working with children as a big sister; a babysitter; Sunday School teacher; a Register Nurse….I almost forgot the mommy and grand mommy role.

  • Children feel more secure when they know the boundaries.
  • Having written rules help everyone know what is expected of each other to feel happy and safe.
  • Do know what the family’s rules are. Are they posted?—

Children really do want rules to help them know what is expected of them.

Babysitters need a list of rules that may be structured a tad different from the family rules.

Sometimes the kids have no idea what a house rule is- have your rules anyway for their safety.

  • You will need to be firm and consistent with those rules with in reason.
  • All of your efforts as a babysitter is to keep the children safe.
  • Build trust befeore some emergency occurs.

Rules don’t have to be mean or overly strict in order to have enough control to keep every one safe.

Children need discipline ( to be taught) but rules don’t need to always be strict or mean to get childrens to follow through.
