The Old Educator's Parenting Tips...from experience

Handy Checklists
Babysitter Checklist
 Are the kids driving you nuts? Then it's time to call a sitter and take a breather. Thanks to our handy checklist, you'll remember to provide your sitter with all the essential info--from emergency phone numbers to television regulations--and enjoy night out.
IMPORTANT NAMES AND NUMBERS:
Where you can be reached
Fire department
Police department
Two nearby friends, relatives or neighbors
Poison Control Center
Pediatrician
Hospital (Choose one that is close and offers good emergency care for kids.)
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
What your child is allowed to eat and drink
Bedtime (or nap time) and how to enforce it
Activities not permitted while you're gone
Play activities your child enjoys
How much television (and which programs) your child is allowed to watch
How you want behavior problems handled
How to use any baby equipment
Warning not to open door to strangers
Warning for sitter not to tell phone caller she is alone, just take a message
Rules for sitter on her use of phone, television, smoking and alcohol
What to do in case of fire or other emergency
Show all entrances and exits, fire and burglar alarms, first aid supplies, flashlights and fuse box.
Post your address and clear directions on how to locate your house (in case sitter needs to provide directions to emergency services).

 
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONSENT FORM:
 Without parental permission, doctors will only treat children in life-threatening situations. To make sure your child receives emergency medical treatment when he's under a sitter's care, prepare a consent form that includes: 
Your child's name
Date of birth
Insurance Company and policy number
Doctors' names and phone numbers
Important medical history, including allergies and chronic conditions
The following statement: "Any licensed physician, dentist or hospital may give necessary emergency medical service to my child (YOUR CHILD'S NAME) at the request of the person bearing this consent form."
