Keeping the Babysitter Updated: A Tech Tip

Keeping the Babysitter Updated: A Tech Tip

Content supplied by SpringfieldMoms.org

Tired of rewriting the same information whenever the sitter comes over?

Afraid you might forget something in the rush of getting out of the house? "Type your babysitting notes on your computer, and then you can edit and print them out whenever the need arises. Include all of your important work and cell phone numbers, neighbors' names and telephone numbers. Also, leave emergency numbers including 911, your physician's name and daytime and after hours phone numbers, poison control (1-800-222-1222), and the name and type of your insurance plan. Don't forget to list your street address and telephone number. Although it sounds like a lot, it will only take up a small amount of space. You can leave a blank area to write in where you'll be and any special instructions for that particular night."

The Parent Help Line at St. John's Hospital also has a ready made form you can print out: Easy Babysitter Checklist .
