Babysitter Emergency Information sheet preview
Who it helps
Parents, guardians, babysitters, grandparents, relatives, nannies, respite helpers, co-parents, and trusted adults who care for a child outside the parent's immediate supervision.
Why this can matter in an emergency
A babysitter, grandparent, relative, neighbor, or trusted adult may need to contact a parent or guardian quickly and find basic information about the child.
A concise sheet may help the caregiver find parent contacts, backup contacts, allergies, pediatrician contact, address, and approved pickup notes without searching through texts or memory.
Babysitter handoff notes
Keep notes about contact and location notes, not instructions. Avoid medical treatment directions, medication dosing, custody decisions, pickup disputes, school policy claims, or emergency-response steps.
Who to contact first and who to contact if the parent or guardian cannot be reached
Which adults are approved for pickup or contact according to the parent-provided list
Where allergy plans, asthma plans, medication labels, pediatrician information, and household notes are kept
What communication, sensory, mobility, language, food, pet, or comfort notes may help the caregiver understand the child
What information should be reviewed with the babysitter before the parent or guardian leaves
Where to keep it
Keep copies where the babysitter can find them, such as a refrigerator folder, kitchen counter folder, babysitter binder, diaper bag, travel bag, or with a trusted relative.
Avoid placing sensitive custody, legal, door code, password, or financial details on a visible copy. Share those details only through appropriate family or legal channels.
When to update it
Review the sheet when parent or guardian contacts, backup contacts, pediatrician, allergies, medication information, pickup contacts, address, school or daycare contacts, or household notes change.
It may also be worth reviewing before a new babysitter starts, before travel, after a move, after a medical update, or when a child's routine changes.
Privacy and safety notes
Child and household information can be sensitive. Avoid passwords, door codes, custody details, legal interpretations, financial details, or unnecessary private information on a visible copy.
