Safe driving is no accident

With school starting, many au pairs will be spending more time behind the wheel. If your duties include driving the children to and from school, or perhaps to after-school activities, please keep these tips in mind:
*Leave a few minutes early to drive to school. Accidents are more likely to happen when drivers are rushed.
*Never talk on the phone or text while you are driving. That call or message can wait!
*Always drive slowly and carefully in school zones. Children often don't think about where they are walking.
*Always look twice before backing up. Don't rely on a "back-up camera" that may be in your vehicle.
*Make sure that all passengers are buckled in properly before moving the car. (This includes you too!)
