Here are some tips for Moms and Dads and Nannies and Babysitters alike:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Use sunscreen<\/i> \u2013 Everyone should wear sunscreen but young skin is particularly sensitive. Babies should be kept covered and out of direct sunlight, particularly during the period of 1100 \u2013 1500. Kids should have sunscreen applied all over their bodies and their faces \u2013 no matter how much they squirm and complain! Use at least 15 SPF and check the expiration date on the bottle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Re-apply sunscreen<\/i> \u2013 Sunscreen should be re-applied throughout the day as it will wear off. Even waterproof sunscreen should be re-applied after dips in the pool.<\/li>\n<li><i>Wear sunglasses <\/i>\u2013 Whilst many adults choose sunglasses for fashion (Top Gun Aviators anyone? Big Jackie O\u2019s?), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eyewearcanada.com\/Kids-Glasses\">kids need sunglasses <\/a>to protect their eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Find some shade \u2013 <\/i>Set up your \u2018operations\u2019 under a tree or umbrella so when kids come back for a towel, drink or bite to eat, they get some time out of the sun. <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.sosgarde.ca\/blog\/tips-for-parents-babysittres-and-nannies-of-how-to-keep-kids-cool-on-hot-days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keep cool<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Watch for Heat Exhaustion (which can lead to heat stroke)<\/i> \u2013 if you notice the kids are feeling faint, dizzy, confused, nauseous or headachy, heat exhaustion could be the cause. Quickly move to a cool place, get lots of water down and apply cool cloths to the skin. If the symptoms persist, consider calling your doctor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also check out the Los Angeles-based non-profit<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunsafetyforkids.org\/\"> Sun Safety for Kids<\/a> to ensure your kids have a fun AND safe summer in the sun!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sosgarde.ca\/en\/caregivers\/nanny\/Canada\">Find all sorts of professionals in your local area<\/a> \u2013 babysitters, nannies, special needs care, elder care, dog sitters and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s summer and the kids want to be outside enjoying the sun.
