Babysitter Information Sheet and Daycare Forms: Everything They Need to Know
Sixteen pages of handoff documents for daycare, the babysitter, grandparents, the date night, the parent's-night-out. The "everything they need to know" page, the food allergies and preferences page, the routine and signal page, the "in case of" emergency page, the consent forms, and a polite-firm what-we-do-and-don't-do page.

Look inside
Pages from the file you'll download, not a mock-up.
Every time you leave your kid with someone, you have a small choice: re-explain the whole system, or hand them a page. This pack is the page.
Fill it in once, in the third trimester or the early weeks of childcare. Update it once a season. Print copies. Keep one in the diaper bag. Keep one on the fridge.
What’s inside
Sixteen pages, fillable:
- The one-page summary. The most important things in one place. Allergies. Pickup person. Emergency contact. The pediatrician.
- The full caregiver brief. Routine. Sleep window. Feed schedule. Bath. Bedtime. The current obsessions and the current dislikes.
- The food page. Allergies (real ones, with the response plan). Preferences. What we offer. What we don’t. The “if they refuse” plan.
- The routine and signal page. The body cues. The word your kid uses for “I’m tired.” The word for “I need the bathroom.” The word for “I’m scared.”
- The “what we do” page. Sunscreen yes. Screen time at this limit. Outdoor play after meals. Etc.
- The “what we don’t” page. No tasting food off adult plates. No phone photos of the kid. No kissing on the face. No promises of things parents haven’t approved.
- The in-case-of page. Pediatrician, ER, parent phone, partner phone, backup adult phone. Plus the meds-in-the-bag list (described by purpose, never by name, call the parent first).
- The consent forms. Standard medical-emergency consent for the caregiver to authorize treatment if you cannot be reached. A drop-off/pickup authorization for daycare or school.
- The daycare-orientation page. Specifically for licensed care. The questions to ask on the tour. What red flags look like.
- The “fun things they like” page. The book. The song. The game. Because the caregiver will want to know.
