Keep off hour activities private.
Employers are proactive when researching their employees to
gain further insight. This includes Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
Check all privacy settings to insure no one has access to private content. Any
unprofessional sightings can result in negative consequences.
Be productive during downtime.
When charges are napping, it’s easy for a caregiver to
become relaxed and neglect other job duties. When the opportunity for downtime
arises, try walking around the house to tidy common areas, prep for upcoming
mealtimes, or throw in a load of laundry.
Avoid unnecessary accidents.
Caregiver belongings have become a new danger in the home.
Beach bags and pocketbooks contain pill bottles, electronics, sharp grooming
items, and harmful chemicals such as sunscreen, nail polish, or makeup. Keep
all personal belongings up and out of reach of charges.
Schedule action packed activities.
Research local events and consider creating a weekly
calendar for charges. Being outdoors and visiting local attractions help make
the most out of the summer months. Try taking a trip to the zoo, aquarium,
amusement park, local museum, and maybe a day trip down to the beach.
