She’s a dangerous dud.  Switch now, please!

Diapers (disposable): Some daycares change every hour, even if it’s unused, if they have one or more children prone to rash.  I have an alarm on my watch for 45 minute intervals; if I notice a wet diaper sooner, I change it, but if not, I will realize at the 45 minute check.  Fecal smells escape more easily, and they can change the outward shape of the diaper, so those are immediately obvious.

Diapers (cloth): Cloth makes it easier to tell when the diaper is used, and it’s easier to potty train.  I keep a pail half full of water and baking soda, and I drop them in after dumping feces and lightly runsinv out urine in the sink.  My preference is to run a load a day if it’s twins, every other day for singles.

Outlets: Like any sensible caregiver, I steer young children away from outlets.  I don’t draw attention to them until we do a safety unit at 5.  My charges are also not in danger, since we use covers that toddlers can take off (not the flimsy clear plastic).

This “nanny” is so out there that I’m afraid for any child with her![/quote]
