Bedtime and what happens if it goes wrong is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Parents leaving a child with someone who has not done it before: a new sitter, a grandparent who last did this twenty years ago, a friend helping out. Written once and photocopied.
The field that decides whether it works
Bedtime and what happens if it goes wrong. Most of the sheet is reference; that line is the one that decides how the evening goes, and it is worth being specific rather than polite about it.
Why it is laid out this way
The timed part of the evening sits in a table and the standing instructions sit in open lines below it, because one is checked at a glance around seven and the other is read once on arrival. Emergency numbers stay at the top rather than the bottom.
What is on the sheet
8 sections, in this order: Date, Home by; Our mobile, Second contact; Address; The children; Evening routine, in order; Food, drinks and what is off limits; House notes: lights, locks, pets, alarms; Anything else. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 19 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the babysitter sheet alongside 4 other forms on the household forms page.
