Before you go
What to share before you go out
Evening care is easier when the sitter knows the routine before parents leave. Add these notes to the booking so the handoff is calm and the sitter can keep bedtime predictable.
- Dinner, bath, bedtime, screen-time, food, and allergy notes.
- Whether the sitter can leave the home for a walk, snack, lobby visit, or nearby outing.
- Expected return time and whether the evening may run late.
- Parking, building access, pets, and who to call if plans change.
- Any emotional notes, separation anxiety, favourite comfort items, or bedtime routines.
