Let Alexa Help Your Nanny
Your nanny has just arrived and you have seven minutes before you have to go to the show / come to the meeting / watch your buddy walk down the aisle. You try to memorize whatever they might need for the next few hours of caring for your offspring, but you pass out and your toddler continues tugging at your shirt asking for soup. You tell your nanny, “Just write to me!” but you really don’t want to receive a flood of non-urgent messages in the middle of your very important business.
Let Alexa help.
There is a simple babysitting plan that allows your child’s guardian to ask for information, such as where to find extra diapers in your home, which TV programs are prohibited, and the name and number of your emergency contact (in case you cannot be reached.). You just need to fill out a form, setting up what you want Alexa to speak when she is asked certain questions.
For example, here’s a daily schedule template.
To get started, your nanny should say the name you give the skill (for example, “Alexa, open My nanny” or “Alexa, open the nanny guide” ). Alexa will then send a personalized message such as “Hi, and thanks for your help today! This is your personalized guide to caring for Will, Cyan and Reese! If you have any questions just ask. “
This is a modern information sheet that you attach to your refrigerator. And if your child asks for a second ice cream, your nanny can definitely say, “I’m sorry, but Alexa said no.”
