When you care enough not to leave your sitter a novel
I've tried to use babysitter notepads, but they're either too labor intensive, or they don't have spots for the information I think is important. So I usually end up just writing out my own on a blank piece of paper, until I found the Babysitter Notes from Tiny-Tales.

You'll find the three biggies,  eat, bathe and sleep, along with my faves, okay and not okay.

Particularly smart for factchecking my sneaky preschooler who will tell the sitter that she gets candy as a bedtime snack. -Kristen
