Starting point
Start with the child’s age group, routine and parent or guardian availability, then distinguish care from other household duties. Discuss experience, introductions and suitability before starting.
when the household contact changes
Maintain one summary of duties and changes, handing it to the new contact to avoid conflicting instructions.
a weekly review
Review completed and deferred duties and their reasons, then agree changes to priorities or time instead of repeating an unsuitable list.
