I take care of my 21/2 year old grandaughter and it being very cold is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?

You most likely have a bad ignition switch.When it doesn't start is the security light on or flashing?If so you will have to have your body control module scanned for codes if you have a B2960 and or a B3033 then you will have to change the ignition switch.
