INDIANAPOLIS At this lime of year many activities may require that you leave the house and your children in the trusted care of a baby-sitter.

A baby-sitter, often a teen-ager, is faced with the enormous responsibility of keeping your children safe during your absence. Dr. James M'owry, director, Indiana Poison Center, reminds us to look carefully at some of the safety issues with which your babysitter should be concerned. Review these important points with your baby-sitter, and then ponder this question: "Am I satisfied with my sitter's It's a vital question we often don't address. Before you leave the house, give the phone number and address of where you will be to the sitter and the time you will return.

Leave emergency phone numbers, including a police, fire, local and the phone number for the Indiana Poison Center. That's (800) 3829097. Tell your baby-sitter about the routines your children follow: When do they eat? Take a bath? Go to bed? Show your baby-sitter where the first aid supplies are kept. When you leave the house, your sitter should: Lock the door and close the curtains. They should never answer the door unless parents are expect- ing someone whom you have previously identified.

Stay awake the entire time you are away. Be aware of an escape route should there be an emergency. Never give out information over the telephone. The sitter should never tell anyone they are alone. If you have young children, the toys they play with can be the source of potential hazards.

Make sure your baby-sitter is aware of: Sharp edges: Plastic toys that have sharp, broken edges can cut a child's skin. Small parts: Tiny toys and toys with small, removable parts can be swallowed or become lodged in a child's'throat, windpipe, ears or nose. These are the UFO's we've told you about before the Unwanted Foreign Objects that can invade your child's play area: Sharp points: Pens, pencils, pins and staples are always waiting to puncture an unsuspecting child. Get the point! Cords and strings: Toys with long strings or cords may be dangerous for infants and very young children. Cords may become wrapped around a child's throat, causing strangulation.

Never hang toys with long strings, cords, loops or ribbons in cribs or playpens where children can become entangled.
