If you are one of the many parents who are a tad nervous about leaving your child with a babysitter, there are several things you can do to ease your anxiety and make the experience much easier for everyone. Instead of scribbling down notes on a piece of paper or constantly sending texts with helpful reminders for your sitter, create a babysitter prep list beforehand. Then, hang it on the fridge so your babysitter can quickly get to it. If you are thinking to yourself that this is a great idea, but aren’t entirely sure what should make it on the list, check out the ultimate babysitter prep list which includes the suggested items that we think you should include.

Never assume that this information is known, and know that during times of stress, things are easily forgotten. Emergency and First Aid Supplies
