Babysitter’s Check List

by Erinn

Since we don’t live close to any of my family and friends we lose out on all the free babysitting we could be enjoying. Instead we have to hire the neighborhood teens to watch our kids if we ever get a chance to go out and do something without kids.

I get nervous leaving my kids even if the babysitter’s parents do live two houses away. I always leave important numbers and information near the phone for the babysitter in case anything happens or he needs something. E thinks I am crazy when I go over this stuff everytime she is here, but I can’t help it I am a Mom.

Even if it is one of our parent’s visiting they don’t know where are pediatrician is or the name of the local hospital. This information coyuld be vital.

Here is a great sheet you can fill out for your visiting relatives or babysitters.

    What a great idea. We have something like that on one of those reusable pads (like a shopping list) that sticks to the fridge. Though we have my mom and haven’t had anyone else babysit but once lol. P.S. I havent forgotten to talk about you- I just have been so busy but I promise I will.
