Though many church nurseries require workers to use gloves for
changing diapers, gloves don't substitute for effective
hand-washing. Hand-washing is still the best way to prevent the
spread of germs. Set a policy requiring workers to wash hands,
especially upon entering the nursery, before feeding babies, and
after every diaper change. In your hand-washing area, provide hot
water, a mild anti-bacterial soap, a nail brush, and paper towels.
To wash properly, follow these steps:
- Scrub hands and wrists with soap and rinse with hot water.
- Scrub the area under the nails.
- Dry hands.
- Shut off the faucet with a paper towel to avoid
recontamination.
Please keep in mind that phone numbers, addresses, and
prices are subject to change.
