Maybe this can help you out:

Q1:
- Engage and interact with them
- Implementing home routine while in care
- Follow up on their interests through observing, talking to parents
- Respond to their body language (yawning, rubbing of eye for tiredness).
- Become familiar with their routine, cues etc.

Q2:
An 8 month old baby will probably have 2 sleeps. One on the morning and one in the afternoon. During baby’s sleep time they should be placed in a sleep room where they can get their rest without being disturbed, in a well ventilated and comfortable quiet room. The times of their sleep should be given by the parents and followed through like at home.

Hope this helps,
