[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her not to take a shower while you're out. Most home injuries happen in the kitchen and bathroom. Agree with others about not answering the door. Also, when my now 12 yr old began staying home alone I always have her things to get done while I was gone. [/quote] And, no cooking on the stove! [b]Does she know where the main water shut off valve is? Or, how to stop an overflowing toilet?[/b] I began babysitting at 12 and my parents made me learn these two things...[/quote] Everyone should know these things, even if they don't stay home alone. They should also know how to turn off the electricity to the house.[/quote]
