Do Your Inspectors...

[MyAngels]

Why did you have an inspector stay all day?
The longest I had an licensing rep here was 30 minutes..she came in, said "wow!" copied and pasted from my last inspection and had me sign and left.
What state are you in?

He stayed from about 1030 to 430. I finally asked him to either finish up or plan to stay for dinner .

He was an older gentleman, diligent, and very, very slow with everything he did. I appreciated his thoroughness, I did not appreciate his pace. There were complaints from all over the county about his visits, fortunately he retired before my next visit was due.

I've never had a visit last more than an hour, either before or since.

I'm in Illinois.

I used gloves once in 8 yrs, do you guys use gloves every diaper change?

YES...for pooo only

In all these years I have never had a licensor actually ask to see me change a diaper. Granted, they may have watched on occasion, the raters from the stars program definetly watch at least one or two being done. I wouldn't have a problem, except being watched doing anything just makes me more nervous and likely to forget something, but it's routine now so it's ok.

As far as the gloves question, I don't use them for just pee diapers, but for bm's I do.

I use gloves for every diaper change. I buy them in bulk online.
I know I've had parents try to sneak ill children in past me - I just don't want to take any chances.

The heath department and licensing requires that we wear gloves for every diaper change (we have to put them on before picking up the child to change their diaper) and we have to wash our hands before the gloves go on and after we finishing the change.

I always wear gloves- your are dealing with bodily fluids and you never fully know all the history about the child (current and past). Plus i have some really squirmy kiddos so it keeps me from getting poop on my hands.

I use them with every diaper change. I feel naked without them.

I posted this on the other thread about diapering. I got an email about these from my CCR&R. I printed them out and posted them and when my inspector came, they were a hit. Plus...they are free. Hope this helps.
