Did you know you can create a customized, virtual guide for your nanny to help them find things, remember steps, and get useful information like emergency contact numbers and your child\u2019s schedule for the day?<\/p>\n<p>You can create this virtual nanny guide in just minutes through Alexa\u2019s Skill Blueprints. Providing hands-free, voice-activated information will help your nanny quickly get what they need when caring for your child.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to get started?<\/p>\n<p>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blueprints.amazon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Skill Blueprints web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under \u201cAt Home,\u201d select Babysitter. Yes, we understand that nannies and babysitters are different, but the guide can be customized for any in-home caregiver including senior caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>Click the \u201cMake Your Own\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p>Edit the examples they provide and add as much of your own information as you\u2019d like. You can always come back to add, edit, update or remove any content.<\/p>\n<p>You can use Skill Blueprints to create a virtual nanny guide that includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your child\u2019s daily schedule<\/li>\n<li>Allergies and medications<\/li>\n<li>Where to find things<\/li>\n<li>How to do things<\/li>\n<li>Emergency contact information<\/li>\n<li>Answers to common questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also customize Alexa\u2019s greetings and farewells. If you have an Echo Show, you can select a background image.<\/p>\n<p>Give your virtual nanny guide a name and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n<p>Skill Blueprints are limited to your personal devices. Personal skills are private. Alexa will offer your virtual nanny guide only when someone opens it on your devices.<\/p>\n<p>Take a few minutes to show your nanny how to use the virtual guide on your home devices. Show them how to open the guide and provide a list of questions Alexa can answer.<\/p>\n<p>Your virtual nanny guide can be a powerful tool that will quickly provide the information your caregiver needs to help their days go smoothly.<\/p>\n<h2>Hiring a nanny?<\/h2>\n<p>Download Your Guide to Hiring a Nanny.
