Where&#8217;s the first aid kit again? Did you mention the EpiPen? Does she know Milo isn&#8217;t allowed on the good sofa?<\/p>\n<p>So we made something to help: a free, one-page printable babysitter information sheet, called the Babysitting Safety Checklist in the PDF. Stick it on the fridge and run through it with your sitter before every booking. Use it alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedcarers.ie\/blog\/top-10-questions-to-ask-a-babysitter-before-hiring\/\">questions to ask before you hire a sitter<\/a>. No more relying on memory while you&#8217;re trying to find your car keys.<\/p>\n<p>No sitter yet? You can <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedcarers.ie\/babysitters\">browse babysitters in Ireland<\/a> and compare profiles first. Then use the babysitter information sheet with whoever you choose.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s on the babysitter information sheet<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple by design. The babysitter information sheet is just tick boxes and a few blanks to fill in once, covering the things that actually matter on the night.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Emergency contacts<\/strong>: your numbers, a backup contact, your GP, and your address (Eircode included, so help can find you fast)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allergies and medical info<\/strong>: including where any medication or auto-injector is kept<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bedtime routine<\/strong>: so your child&#8217;s evening goes the way it normally does<\/li>\n<li><strong>House rules<\/strong>: screens, snacks, off-limit rooms, no surprise visitors<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fire safety<\/strong>: smoke alarms, escape routes, and where to meet outside<\/li>\n<li><strong>First aid<\/strong>: kit location and a quick check of your sitter&#8217;s training<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cameras<\/strong>: a heads-up if you use a baby monitor or indoor camera<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medication<\/strong>: written down clearly, not just mentioned in passing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pet safety<\/strong>: introductions and ground rules, if you&#8217;ve got a furry housemate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Basically, it&#8217;s everything you&#8217;d want your sitter to know, in one place. Nothing is left to a rushed conversation at the door.<\/p>\n<p>Want someone who is happy to work from a sheet like this? You can look through <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedcarers.ie\/babysitters\/cork\">babysitters in Cork<\/a> and read each profile first.<\/p>\n<h2>What information to give a babysitter, field by field<\/h2>\n<p>Here is the babysitter information sheet written out. Fill in each field once, and later bookings only need a quick update.<\/p>\n<h3>Contacts and your address<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Your mobile number, plus a second number in case you cannot answer.<\/li>\n<li>A backup adult who could reach the house, such as a neighbour or grandparent.<\/li>\n<li>Your GP&#8217;s name and number, and the out-of-hours number if your practice has one.<\/li>\n<li>Your full address with Eircode, written large.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Garda website says to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garda.ie\/en\/victim-services\/reporting-a-crime-faqs\/how-do-i-report-an-emergency-.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">always call 112 or 999 in an emergency<\/a>. The call-taker may ask for a name, location and telephone number. That is why the address and Eircode sit right beside the numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Medical details and medicine<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Allergies and conditions, and who your sitter should ring first if something looks wrong.<\/li>\n<li>Where the EpiPen, inhaler or other auto-injector is kept.<\/li>\n<li>Any medicine: the name, the dose and the time, written down. If you want none given, say so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Routines for a baby, toddler or school-age child<\/h3>\n<p>Your child&#8217;s evening depends on their age, so write down what is normal in your house.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Baby:<\/strong> feed times and amounts, nappy changes, and how they settle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toddler:<\/strong> tea, bath, story, comfort toy or dummy, and the night light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>School age:<\/strong> homework, screen time and lights-out time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not sure who suits a baby or a school-age child? You can compare <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedcarers.ie\/babysitters\/dublin\">babysitters in Dublin<\/a> and check their experience.<\/p>\n<h3>House rules, visitors and pets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Wi-Fi password, and any rules on TV, tablets and games.<\/li>\n<li>Snacks they can have, and snacks they cannot.<\/li>\n<li>Off-limit rooms, which door to lock and where the spare key is kept.<\/li>\n<li>Who may come to the door, if anyone.<\/li>\n<li>Pet feeding and any ground rules for the dog or cat.<\/li>\n<li>A heads-up about any baby monitor or indoor camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Your return time and check-ins<\/h3>\n<p>Give a time you expect to be home and a time you would like a text. Say who to call if you are running late.<\/p>\n<h2>Babysitter checklist Ireland: five minutes before you leave<\/h2>\n<p>Once the babysitter information sheet is filled in, a short walk-through does the rest.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hand over the babysitter information sheet and read it through together.<\/li>\n<li>Show them the smoke alarms, the quickest way out and the meeting point outside.<\/li>\n<li>Point out the first aid kit and any medicine.<\/li>\n<li>Check your sitter can reach you on the numbers you wrote.<\/li>\n<li>Agree your return time and when to text.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Check your sitter before you hand it over<\/h2>\n<p>Choose the person first, then hand over the babysitter information sheet. No law sets a minimum age for babysitting, Citizens Information confirms. Maturity and competence are the main things a parent should weigh. Tusla&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusla.ie\/uploads\/content\/Tusla_-_Short_guide_for_parents_who_are_newly_arrived_in_Ireland_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">short guide for parents<\/a> says a sitter should be over 16, and that you should ask for two references.<\/p>\n<p>Meeting someone new? Compare profiles of <a href=\"https:\/\/trustedcarers.ie\/babysitters\/meath\">babysitters in Meath<\/a> first. Then go through the babysitter information sheet at a short first meeting.<\/p>\n<h2>Why bother printing a babysitter information sheet<\/h2>\n<p>Because five minutes now saves you from that nagging \u201cdid I remember to tell her about the smoke alarm\u201d feeling all night. It also means your sitter isn&#8217;t left guessing if something unexpected comes up. They&#8217;ll have your number, your GP&#8217;s number, and clear instructions right in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>It works just as well for your regular sitter as it does for someone minding your kids for the very first time. That&#8217;s true whether you are still finding a trustworthy babysitter or already have one you rely on. Print a few copies, keep one handy, and fill it in before each booking. It takes less time than finding a parking spot on your way out.<\/p>\n<h2>Download the babysitter information sheet here<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Babysitting-Safety-Checklist.pdf\"><strong>Download the Free Printable Babysitting Safety Checklist (PDF)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Print it, pop it on the fridge, and you&#8217;ve got one less thing to worry about before your night out.

A short first meeting is a good time to go through it together.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: What information should you give a babysitter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Give your sitter a babysitter information sheet with emergency contacts, your GP, your address with Eircode, allergies, medication instructions, the bedtime routine, house rules, the fire escape plan and where the first aid kit is. Writing it down beats rushed instructions at the door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What emergency number should I leave for a babysitter in Ireland?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Leave both 112 and 999. The Garda website says to always call 112 or 999 in an emergency, and the call-taker may ask for a name, location and telephone number. Write your Eircode beside the numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is there a minimum age to babysit in Ireland?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Citizens Information says no law sets a minimum age for babysitting. Tusla&#8217;s guide for parents says a sitter should be over 16, with two references. Whoever you choose, be sure they are capable before you leave them in charge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What fire safety information should I give a babysitter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Show the sitter the smoke alarms, the quickest way out and an agreed meeting point outside. A gov.ie fire safety release carries Dublin Fire Brigade&#8217;s advice to have a working smoke alarm, ideally one upstairs and one downstairs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Should I tell the babysitter about a baby monitor or camera?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Yes. Put any baby monitor or indoor camera on your babysitter information sheet before you leave, so the arrangement stays respectful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What should I include on my babysitting checklist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Fill in the babysitter information sheet first. Then run a quick checklist before you leave: hand over the sheet and read it together, show the smoke alarms, the way out and the first aid kit, check the sitter can reach you, and agree your return time.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What information should you give a babysitter?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Give your sitter a babysitter information sheet with emergency contacts, your GP, your address with Eircode, allergies, medication instructions, the bedtime routine, house rules, the fire escape plan and where the first aid kit is.
