Why leave a written sheet
When you’re heading out the door, something always slips your mind: nap time, the name of the stuffed animal, the door code. A written sheet saves texts in the middle of the evening and reassures everyone, especially the first time. Naître et grandir suggests leaving the babysitter your contact details, the full home address, a neighbour’s number, when you’ll be back, the routine, allergies and any off-limits areas.
What the sheet includes
- The children’s names and when you’ll be back.
- Your phone numbers and a neighbour’s or relative’s.
- The home address, to give 911 if needed.
- The routine: meals, naps, bedtime, last feed and last nap.
- The stuffed animal, soother and what comforts each child.
- Allergies, as you wrote them down, and house rules.
- Where to find the first aid kit, flashlight and fire extinguisher.
911, Info-Santé 811 and the Québec Poison Control Centre are added automatically.
A few tips
Walk through the house with the babysitter before you leave and show them the exits. Stick the sheet on the fridge or near the door. If your child is on a treatment, give your instructions in person and write them in the notes exactly as your health professional gave them: the sheet doesn’t calculate anything.
With Maliah, the babysitter sees everything live
A paper sheet is frozen the moment you print it. In Maliah, you can give the babysitter or grandma babysitting access: they see the last feed, the last nap and today’s routine, and log things themselves by voice (“Léa is asleep”). You get everything with the time and the person’s name, and the weekly recap keeps track of every babysitting night.
