The relationship with kangaroos
Kangaroos spend a lot of time with their children. One of the most important figures in the upbringing of the smallest. That is why you have to maintain a good relationship with them in order to choose well to the kangaroo or the babysitter and that the little ones feel in good hands:
- Hold an interview with the candidates. In it you can set an example to see how they would react to a situation or problem that may arise. It is a way to see if it meets many of the requirements for it to be a correct choice. You can also check if your values match those you want to instill in children.
- It is necessary to make clear the needs and routines of the child. The kangaroo should be explained work schedules, routines that should be followed, meals, bathrooms, etc. and always clarifying where everything you need is.
- Always position yourself as an aid for the most difficult situations. Parents are the ones who know their children best, so who better to answer questions related to children.
- Keep a deep conversation before starting. Parents should make clear all aspects of the work. All ropes should be left tied so that there are no misunderstandings about what is proposed.
