You will hear a mother talking to a new babysitter about the arrangements for the evening.
Hi, Sally. I’m so glad you’ve been able to cover for our normal babysitter at such short notice. You’re much younger than I imagined, but you come highly recommended by the agency. Don’t worry, Mrs Johnson. I’ve been doing this for a while now. You can rest assured everything will be fine. Now, you have two children, isn’t that right? Tom, who is three, and 15-month-old Rose.
Exactly. Rose is having a nap right now and here comes Tom with my husband. He’s just collected him from the local creche. Hi, darling.
Now, Rose has her dinner about five. I’ve left some jars of baby food in the fridge, but they’ll need to be warmed up. While Rose is eating, give Tom a snack. Something like a banana or slices of apple would be fine. I see. At about 5.30, I like to give Rose a bath. You’re all right giving the baby a bath.
That’s no problem. Great. I’ve left all you need in the bathroom. Now, normally, my husband will take Tom out for a walk when Rose is having her bath, but let him just do some indoor activities, like playing with some of his toys or looking at his books.
Tom has his dinner about six. I’ve left it in the fridge, and you can give Rose a bottle if she wants it. But I do want her to be asleep by 6.30. Tom can play with his toys while you’re putting her to bed.
That’s fine, I understand. Tom can play until about seven, though he needs a bath around quarter past and then change into his pyjamas. There’s always a bit of drama around bedtime, but I like him to be tucked up by eight. I understand. Some children need to be calmed down before they can go to sleep.
I do agree. I keep a nightlight on as it reassures him, though my husband thinks that and feels that Tom should sleep in the dark, as he thinks it’s more natural. I see. Oh, about Rose’s dinner. You probably disagree, but I find these prepared jars of food just so much more convenient, especially when I don’t have much time.
I know what you mean, but they do contain a lot of sugar, so I think it’s best to stick to whole foods. Well, if you think you have the time, do what you think is best. But if you spend all the time on food prep, you definitely won’t have time to take Tom for a walk and give Rose a bath. My husband thinks it’s important that the children aren’t cooped up indoors all day, but I’m not so keen when the evenings start to draw in in the winter.
That’s fine. Well, that’s about it. You’ll find lots of toys and books for both the children. I’m particularly keen that the children have a lot of books around them, rather than depending on screens for their entertainment. I agree. Plus, they’ll become a familiar part of life for when the children go to school and go on to university if that’s what they want. Quite well.
I think that’s everything. So, if you don’t have any questions, we’ll be off. We’ll be back around midnight. See you. Bye. Have a good time.
