Free babysitter information sheet
Prepare a printable babysitter information sheet with contacts, the evening plan, household details, and clear instructions for reaching you.
Give a babysitter one current sheet with the information they need for this visit. Walk through it together before leaving, and keep sensitive details within your trusted care team.
Prepare for this particular visit
Write the date and the time you expect to return. A sheet left in a drawer for months may contain old phone numbers or an outdated routine. Check the details each time and tell the sitter which parts of the plan are flexible. Leave space for questions while everyone is still together.
Make contact details easy to find
Put your location and preferred contact number at the top, followed by the backup person you have agreed on. Include the home address so the sitter does not have to look it up. Discuss how you want to hear about a changed plan and what to do if you cannot be reached; the sheet is a reminder of that conversation.
- Confirm that the sitter can reach your phone.
- Explain where everyday supplies are kept.
- Share the child’s familiar comfort items and usual sequence for the evening.
Keep the plan understandable
Describe the order of the evening rather than assuming the sitter knows your household shorthand. For example, explain where dinner is, what is already prepared, and which book usually comes next. This worksheet is for household coordination; share any child-specific professional instructions separately and discuss them directly.

Common questions
Should I put door codes on the sheet?
Share access details privately with the sitter and avoid leaving them on a sheet that visitors could see.
What should I update before each visit?
Check the date, return time, reachable contacts, and any changes to the plan or supplies.
