Toddler Talk Thursday {Babysitters}

June 29, 2011 By Emily 5 Comments

Welcome to Week 45 of Toddler Talk Thursday! Where Family and Life in Las Vegas, Crazy about my Baybah, and My Life as a Sippy Cup Mom talk all things TODDLER!!

** If you want to follow this on twitter – or plan on tweeting your post – please use hashtag: #letstalktoddler **

Toddler Talk Thursday was created as a place for moms and dads of toddlers to come together over a weekly topic and share ideas, go-to toys, or products. It is a great way to meet other bloggers of toddlers. Each week the topic will be different; we invite you to link up, share your weekly Toddler Talk!!

Each week the hosts will travel around to each blog to see what topic your suggest for a future Toddler Talk. If we choose your topic – you will be our featured blog.

Keep the GREAT suggestions coming. We have an on-going list we will choose from each week. Some topics are ones we have done in the past – but that doesn’t mean we won’t revisit them!!

In order to qualify for this you need to blog about this week’s topic, and follow the hosts.

And the end of your post – suggest a future topic.

Comments letting us know you are participating are always great too. If we choose your topic, we will link back to your post.

This Week’s Topic: Emergency Kit for your babysitter. Do you have one? What is in yours?

Thanks Cassie at Crazy Cool with a Side of Crafty for the great idea!

Honestly, I don’t have an emergency kit for a babysitter.  I actually haven’t used a babysitter yet with Squishy.  Other than friends and Auntie Kim, Squish hasn’t stayed with anyone unfamiliar with his routine.

I do like the idea of having a babysitter checklist, and I found a couple of free printables that I liked:

Babysitter Checklist Printable #1 – Free

Babysitter Checklist Printable #2 – Free

Babysitter Checklist Printable #3 – Free

Babysitter Information (More Detail) – Free

And then there was this one – which I personally got a kick out of – it runs $7.99 for a packet.
"Babysitter Information"

Since Squishy is on medication at night-time daily, and has asthma I would for sure have all that information on his lists.
I know when I babysat, which I did a lot when I was growing up, having a list and directions always made the job easier.  Well, that and a well stocked fridge.  Hey, the babysitter has to eat too!

UPDATE: After talking to my Sister in Law Kim aka Auntie Kim, she said the kit should include anything your babysitter may need in an emergency all in one bag.  AKA: The numbers in the list, water, bandages, gauze, antiseptic, any medication your child is on (in case they need it or so the ER docs can see it), a flashlight, and anything else you can think of that a babysitter may need in an emergency.  That way if something happens the babysitter only needs to go to one place.  Plus that way the babysitter doesn’t need to even think if they need to rush out the door.

Link Up Suggestions:

1. We ask that you follow all three hosts. That way you can keep up to date on future Toddler Talks.

2. Please grab the Toddler Talk Button and display it in your post or on your blog.

3. Stop in to other blogs that are linking up. Leave a meaningful comment if you visit, and follow if you would like.
4. If you want to post the link up on your blog – please do! Maybe we can draw in more people to participate and share tips!!

    Just found this meme through a hop I was doing earlier today and decided to join in the fun since I have a toddler in the house.

    I’m a new follower, too.
