As a busy mom, it’s natural for you to worry about what
happens at home especially if you are away at work most of the day. If you
choose to go all out and install security cameras in your house, you can have
peace of mind knowing you can watch what activities go on in your home, perhaps
a babysitter you don’t really trust yet, but cameras can be expensive, here are
some more practical ways to make sure your home is safe.
Ø
Avoid posting your location, agenda or work
schedule on Facebook, Twitter or other social media. You may not realise, but
someone could be keeping an eye on you and knowing your whereabouts can be so
tempting for intruders.
Ø
Invest in good lighting outdoors; dark corners
around your house can be perfect places for burglars to hide.
Ø
Remember to
lock all you windows and doors, sometimes when you’re busy and in a rush you
may take locking all your doors for granted, even better install double locks
which make it even harder for intruders.
Ø Trim bushes or trees around your house, they may
look nice but burglars use them as hiding spots. Otherwise just replace them
with plants that do not grow too thick.
Ø
It’s a dead give-away to hide you keys in
obvious places, like in a pot plant or under your doormat, make sure to hide them
in a place only you know.
Use these basic tips to keep your home a safe place when you
are away, or have to leave your kids alone or with other people, you never know
what could happen on your property when you have to go to work for majority of
the day.
