Martina Rocha nos pasa esta información:
Ustedes saben la gran responsabilidad que
tenemos en nuestro trabajo de cuidado de niños. Un descuido de solo unos
segundos nos pueden costar muchos problemas y nos podemos poner en
situaciones muy serias.
Les digo esto porque la semana pasada en la
casa de una proveedora que vive al Sur de Chicago hubo un accidente muy grave
por culpa de un CELULAR, si ¡un Celular!
Cuando usted esté trabajando o su asistente o
su hijo o hija, esposo o esposa, quien sea que esté trabajando en el área
del cuidado de los niños es responsable de lo que está haciendo NO SE DEBEN ENVIAR O LEER MENSAJES DE TEXTO O
CHECAR SU INTERNET EN SU CELULAR CUANDO ESTA EN HORAS DE TRABAJO.
Es igual que si usted está trabajando en una
oficina, o en una fábrica, o en la construcción, o si va manejando si se
distrae le puede pasar un accidente o verse envuelto en una situación de riesgo
o de peligro.
Esto es lo que paso la semana pasado en el
Sur de Chicago: una Proveedora, por estar enviando y revisando sus mensajes de
texto cuando estaba cuidando los niños no se dio cuenta que un niño grande se
dejo caer encima de un niño muy pequeño y lo estaba dejando sin
respiración, el niño pequeño no podía pararse para poder salvarse de la
situación, cuando ella se dio cuenta el niño pequeño estaba morado y sin
respiración. Unos segundos más, y hubiera muerto!
Solo se necesitan segundos para que suceda un
accidente, así que quise compartir con ustedes esta información
EVITEMOS EL USAR LOS CELULARES O
TELÉFONOS CUANDO ESTEMOS TRABAJANDO, SOLO EN CASOS DE EMERGENCIA

Martina Rocha passed us this
information:
You know the great responsibility that we have tin our child care work. A few seconds of carelessness can cost us a lot of problems and we can put ourselves in serious situations.
I say this because the last week, at home of a provider who lives the south of Chicago, it was a very serious accident due to a cell, yes, a cell phone!
When you are working or your assistant, or your son, or daughter, husband, or wife, whoever is working in the area of childcare, he is responsible for what he is doing: SHOULD NOT BE SEND OR READ TEXT MESSAGES OR CHECK YOUR INTERNET IN YOUR CELL IN WORKING HOURS.
It's like if you're working in an office, or a factory, or building, or if you are driving distracted an accident can happen or be involved in a situation of risk or danger.
This is what happened the last week in South Chicago: a provider, by being sending and checking her text messages when she was taking care of the children, she did not realize that a big boy flopped over a very young child and breath was leaving, the little boy could not stand to save on the situation, when she realized that the child was purple and he was not breathing. A few seconds more, and he would have died!
It only need seconds for an accident to happen, so I wanted to share with you this information
LET THE USE OF PHONES WHEN WE ARE WORKING; IN CASES OF EMERGENCY ONLY

Como bien dice Martina, si usted está trabajando, está trabajando. No puede
usar su celular, no puede mirar telenovelas, hablar por teléfono con sus
amigos… Hay personas que piensan que cuidar niños es simplemente tenerlos en
casa y decirles “NO!” cada vez que hagan algo peligroso o molesten. Eso parece
fácil, pero no lo es. Los niños exigen constante atención, se aburren y crean
problemas, y la persona que quiere ver la telenovela tiene que interrumpir
constantemente, se siente frustrada.
Hace 30 años mi esposa y yo teníamos en España un centro de cuidado
infantil en el que cuidábamos 62 niños –y no teníamos televisión-, aunque nunca
teníamos más de 50 al mismo tiempo. Éramos solo los 2 y una persona que venía
en las mañanas a cambiar 6-8 bebés y darles biberones. Mi esposa se ocupaba de hacer
la comida, los que necesitan ayuda para ir al baño, ayudarme a repartir
material al cambiar de actividad, y cuando había que intervenir porque un niños
estaba creando problemas. ¿Cómo podíamos hacerlo?: Teniendo unas reglas claras
de lo que los niños podían y no podían hacer, y sobre todo aplicando siempre mi
regla de oro: “TODOS LOS NIÑOS DEBEN ESTAR SIEMPRE OCUPADOS HACIENDO ALGO QUE
LES GUSTE HACER”. Siempre estaban en una actividad estructurada, alternando
siempre actividades movidas donde gastaban energía con actividades reposadas, y
cuando una tercera parte de los niños comenzaba a no estar interesado en la
actividad, sabía que era hora de cambiar de actividad. Eso suponía cambiar de
actividad cada 20 minutos o media hora, pero cada tarde, al entregar el último
niño preparaba todo para el día siguiente. Abríamos a las 7, cerrábamos a las
5, y el día se hacía corto. Terminábamos cansados y felices, llenos de energía.
Si el cuidado infantil se le hace difícil, piense…
¿Estoy realmente trabajando, ocupada solamente el mi negocio?
¿Tengo normas claras y sencillas –para los niños y los padres- y las hago
cumplir siempre?
¿Tengo mis normas escritas? ¿Las he dado a conocer?
¿He creado rutinas, y los niños pasan fácilmente de una actividad a otra?
¿Cada día, al terminar el día, preparo lo que voy a hacer el día siguiente?
¿Están mis niños siempre ocupados, haciendo algo que les gusta?
As stated by Martina, if you
are working, you are working. You can’t use your phone, you can’t watch
Telenovelas, talk by phone with friends ... There are people who think that take
care of children is just have them at home and say "NO!" every time
they do something dangerous or disturbed. That seems easy, but it is not. The children
require constant attention, they get bored and create problems, and the person
who wants to see the soap has to constantly interrupt, she feel frustrated.
30 years ago my wife and I
were in Spain
a child care center in which we took care of 62 children, and we had no
television, but never had more than 50 at a time. We were only 2 and a person
who came in the morning to change 6-8 babies and give them bottles. My wife was
busy making food, they need help going to the bathroom, help me to distribute
material to change activities, and when he had to intervene because a child was
creating problems. How could we do?: Having clear rules of what children could
and could not do, and above all always applying my golden rule: "All
children must be populated doing something they enjoy doing." They were
always in a structured activity, alternating activities shaky energy spent
restful activities, and when a third of the children began to not be interested
in the activity, I knew it was time to change activities. It was supposed to
change activities every 20 minutes or half an hour, but every evening, to
deliver the last child prepared everything for the next day. We opened at 7, we
closed at 5, and the day grew short. We ended up tired and happy, full of
energy.
If child care becomes difficult, think...
Am I really working, busy
only in my business?
Do I have clear and simple rules-for children and parents-, and I comply ever?
Do I have my written rules? Have I made known?
Have I created routines, and the children pass easily from one activity to another?
Every day, at the end, I make all that I'll do the next day?
Are my children always busy doing something that they like?
