2. Intro
At Penelope’s People NYC nanny agency,
we work hard to make the lives of Manhattan
parents easier. We know that having sick
kids at home is no walk in the park. That’s
why we’ve put together this slideshow of tips
to help prevent your kids from catching
whatever nasty illnesses their classmates
might be getting this season.

3. Scrub Those Hands!
● Make sure you and your children wash
your hands often with soap and water,
particularly if you’ve just coughed or
sneezed.
● Use an alcohol-based sanitizer, but ONLY
if soap and water aren’t readily available.
● Make sure your children’s hands are
getting sudsy- friction is what scrubs away
the germs!

4. Eat Right!
● Make sure you and your children are
eating plenty of fruits and veggies!
● Eat foods with a lot of phytonutrients. Pro
tip: The deepest colored fruits and
vegetables have the highest number of
phytonutrients.
● Multivitamins are also an effective means
of giving your children vital nutrients.

5. Get Plenty of Sleep
● This goes double for you, parents! Not
getting enough sleep lowers your body’s
ability to fight off germs, so be sure to
clock in at least 7 hours a night!
● If you need help around the house to
make sure you have plenty of sleep, learn

management services available from
