What this sheet is for
Leave a sitter with the numbers, the address and the routine written down rather than explained in a hurry at the door.
Who it is for
Parents leaving children with a sitter, a relative or a friend for an evening.
How to use it
- Write the full address down. Nobody can recall it when they are frightened.
- Fill in the emergency services number for where you are.
- Go through the sheet in person before you leave, rather than pointing at it.
- Say where written instructions for allergies or medicines are kept — and agree beforehand what the sitter should and should not do.
- Leave it somewhere obvious, like the fridge.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Everything a sitter needs on one page: who to call, where things are, and what the evening looks like.
Where it is and who to call. No medical instruction of any kind is printed here, and none should be improvised. Write where the information is and who to call, then go through it in person before you leave.
Write-on lines: Children and ages · Date · Home from · Address, said out loud and written down · Door or alarm code
Contacts — parent, second parent, a neighbour, the doctor, and the emergency number for where you are
Table, 5 rows: Who · Name · Number · Notes
Ruled lines: The evening — meals, bedtimes, screens, and anything they may be worried about
Where things are, and what has been agreed — including where written instructions for any allergy or medicine are kept

Questions
Why does it not have a section for medicines and doses?
Because a dose written on a sheet by somebody in a hurry is exactly the kind of instruction that goes wrong. Keep the written instructions that came with the medicine, show the sitter where they are, and agree in advance what they should do — including when to call you or a doctor.
