This is good information to have written down for a babysitter:

• Where you will be or a list of the places you will be
• Phone numbers where you can be reached at all times
• Names and numbers of neighbors to contact in case of an emergency
• Allergies that a child has and what do to if necessary
• Where the food is located that will be used while you are gone (make it easy to fix)
• Schedule for the child/children
• Discipline policy / Time out *
• Bedtime rules
