How to help your caregiver with this topic

• If your caregiver does not have a regular source of health care, refer them to the links provided in additional resources. If you are pleased with your pediatrician, family provider, dentist or local health clinic, suggest them – your caregiver may feel more comfortable going to a provider that you recommend highly.



• If your caregiver does not have health insurance for themselves or their children, refer her/him to the state child health insurance program – for your state contact go to:

• Be understanding when your caregiver needs to take a day off for his/her annual check up or for check ups of his/her children. Staying healthy and keeping up with annual preventive care visits helps lower sick days other times.
