What safety issues shoul I consider when babysitting a toddler.

Toddler Safety Tips

First time babysitting toddlers? Here are some safety tips you should keep in mind.

Use the back burners of the stove when cooking to reduce the chance of a child reaching out and burning their hand, or pulling a pan off the stove.
If you are cleaning, do not leave cleaning supplies on a table or counter where a toddler could grab them. Return all cleaning supplies to a locked cabinet when you are done using them.
In the kitchen, keep electrical cords attached to appliances out of reach.
Do not leave cups or glasses of extremely hot liquids sitting unguarded on tables or counters.
Dispose of all plastic grocery bags immediately.
Always check bathwater temperature before putting a child in the tub.
Never leave a toddler unattended in the bathtub.
