Amazon.com Review

Leaving your kids with a babysitter can feel like diving into a swimming pool without first checking to see if there's water down there. The Babysitter Book can help you change all that. It's a fill-in-the-blanks book--filled with the details it's hard to transmit as you run out the door (late) while the babysitter frantically takes notes, jiggles the screaming baby, and tries to pacify the barking dog. When you fill in this book ahead of time, the babysitter will have careful instructions on everything from emergency phone numbers to where to turn off the water in case of an earthquake to how long to set the timer for a disciplinary time-out (if you use time-outs). She'll find a quick-check section on infant CPR and other medical emergencies, sheets introducing the neighbors and relatives, and of course, which snugglies little Junior needs as he drifts off to sleep. Bonus points: the entire book is translated into Spanish.
