Water Safety Reminder

By TLC Nannies & Sitters | June 19, 2012 |
TLC For Kids is a proud member of the International Nanny Agency(INA).   Recently the INA sent out a reminder to all nannies and caregivers and I think we should pass it on.
Since the 2010 tragic drowning incident in Long Island, New York, that involved a nanny and the toddler in her care, INA has committed to sending an annual reminder to nannies, parents and agencies that only child care providers who have the proper training should take children swimming or near large bodies of water like a pool, lake or ocean.

INA recommends that children are only to be taken swimming by a nanny if she is a lifeguard, if she has successfully completed a credible water safety and rescue course, or if there is a lifeguard present.

INA recommends that any child care provider who works in a home where there is a large body of water present be properly trained in water safety and rescue.
