An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
預かる場所、子供、保育に係る留意点を事前に把握し、具体的な保育内容については利用者と打ち合わせをする。何よりも子供の安全を第一に考えた保育方針を立てることが重要である。コミュニケーションを密にし、利用者から信頼されることが仕事を続けていく上で大切である。
ベビーシッターの仕事を一日の仕事の流れに沿ってみると、まず、子供を預かる場所に出向き、保護者等から子供を預かる。子供と遊んだり、身の回りの世話をする。食事の時間が近づいてきたら、食事の用意をすることもある。利用者からの要望で買い物や掃除、洗濯等の家事支援を行うこともある。また、保育施設等への送迎を行う場合もある。子供を預かった間の様子等を報告書等に記載しておき、保護者が帰宅し保育が終了する時に報告する。なお、利用者等から利用料金を受け取る場合もある。
食品アレルギー等がある子供を預かる場合は十分な食品等へのチェックが必要となる。もしものことがあった場合の備えを保護者に確認しておくことも重要である。
病気の子供を預かる場合は、病状に合った看病や世話が必要となる。持病のある子供を預かる場合は、かかりつけ医などの確認は欠かせない。障害のある子供の世話をすることもあり、障害の状況等を踏まえた世話が必要になる。小学生の保育や産後の母子や妊娠中の母親に代わって子どものケアを手がけることもある。
