Parent Starter Kit: Babysitter Forms, Daycare Forms, & More

Looking for babysitter forms for your Friday night date? Need daycare forms for your newborn that’s about to start daycare?

Or looking to track information about your baby in the hospital when they’re born? Or just want to have an easy-to-find document with all of your child’s important information?

Keeping track of all of your child’s information can be daunting. Especially when you need to leave emergency information for a babysitter. Instead of scrambling to find the information last minute, use these forms to have everything ready ahead of time.

The forms available to download for free in this set include:

• emergency information sheet
• babysitter forms (older children & baby options)
• babysitting additional info form
• daycare forms
• baby milestone tracker
• hospital paperwork checklist for after you have the baby

I know that after I had my first child, I wasn’t exactly sure what information I needed to have on hand or what items were must-dos right away. Our hospital paperwork checklist and milestone tracker will help you during those early weeks when you’re too tired to think straight.

So let’s take a look at each of the different forms available!

Special Note About the Forms

This week’s inserts are almost all available to print and fill-in or type directly into and then print (except for the hospital sheet because you’ll need it printed blank for the hospital). The PDFs can all be customized on your computer before you print them. This will save you so much time for your babysitter forms.

Also, it will also make it easy to update your Emergency and other forms later as long as you save the file on your computer. (Or send it to yourself in an e-mail for safe-keeping!)

I like to type where I can because my handwriting is so poor (you should see my pathetic handwriting in my planner. I’m working on that though with this gift from my husband).

Emergency Contact Form

Whether or not you have children, it’s important to make sure you have Emergency Information readily available. It’s one of those boring adult things that you don’t want to do but totally should. I can tell you after dealing with a choking baby, the last thing you want to be doing is scrambling for information during an emergency.

This should be the FIRST page in your family binder. It is of utmost importance.

Also, it will become a tool for your children as they get older and stay home alone. Additionally, your babysitter may not be able to reach you during your night out because you accidentally left your phone on silent (again).

While we all hope there is no need for an Emergency Information page, it’s better to be prepared (plus, I feel like if you have it, it’s less likely to be used. I always have a weird theory about being prepared because things are less likely to happen).

Hospital Checklist and Information Form

I made this form with my pregnant sister in mind. I was trying to think of what she needs to do after she has the baby. There is always so much information leading up to the big event, but everyone seems to forget to fill you in on the requirements after you have the baby (other than the obvious things like changing the baby’s diaper).

Now, it may seem silly to write down some of this (like your baby’s birth date). But I am going to tell you, you’ll be so tired you won’t be able to think straight. Having this form ensure you will provide people with the correct baby stats and will also remind you of the tasks you need to complete.

For my example forms today, I created an imaginary character, named Rory. You see, Rory had a surprise pregnancy last year and wanted a way to keep track of her little one.

Baby Milestone and Stats Tracker

One of the other things you’ll need to do after you have a baby is keep track of their milestones. While you’ll want to transfer these into a perfect, pretty baby book, you’ll also need the information for your doctor.

When your kid rolls over the first time, you’ll be knee-deep in laundry, covered in milk stains, and will have no interest in digging out your baby book at a moments notice.

This page will help you record your baby’s milestones so that you can share them with the doctor (just pop the page out and take it with you and you can write down their weight, height, and other notes while at the appointment).

By keeping a draft version of your milestones, you can transfer the information neatly into their baby book after the fact (this one is likely to get spit up or coffee on it anyhow).

Babysitter Forms

My poor parents and in-laws. I am not going to lie, when I left my children in their early years, my babysitter notes were more like a book. I wrote down every single detail that I thought they *might* need.

Well, I have since found a way to simplify my notes. Today, you will get three babysitting forms. One form for babysitting a baby, one for babysitting older kids, and an additional page for those of you with more than 4 children or in need of an extra note page (I would have probably printed three or more of these in the beginning). Again, I had a little fun creating a fake form for Rory and her son.

Daycare Forms

This form is meant for parents who have children in daycare. If you’re looking for school forms, click here. Sometimes it can be hard to remember the little details you learn (such as the other kid’s names or even harder, their parents’ names).

Also, there may be times that someone else needs to take your kid to daycare (like Grandma). This form will give you a quick overview of everything you need to remember about daycare. If you’re a daycare provider, this would be great to send home to parents will some of the information already typed in (you can print multiple copies after you fill in the PDF).
