Using the Phone While Babysitting

"Hi! My name is Aisha Puri and on behalf of Expert Village, this is how to use a babysitter. When it comes to the telephone, it is very important that you talk to your babysitter about the times when and when not to use the telephone. For instance, the babysitter should be able to use the phone when the children are resting or when the children are not around. If it is an emergency, personal calls can be made. If it is an emergency due to family or other instances they are going to affect the sitter later on in the day. Other than that, personal calls should be limited to when the children are not around and they are asleep. If the sitter needs to use the phone to phone the parents or the school the children attend, that should be acceptable. Also, even when the children are obviously not around, it is still not advisable for the sitter not to stay on the phone for very long because this leads to distractions or if the child may need her due to anything but waking up or needing to go the bathroom. The sitter still needs to be focused on the job and therefore the time that the sitter uses the phone she will be limited to when the children are not around or if they are asleep. My name is Aisha and thank you for watching."
