Re: Please remind me of some inportant things to tell the sitter.....
Sorry just saw this post - I'm not sure if you still want to know what to add to this list but here is what I usually have for sitters that are watching my kids in my home:
work# cell# your work address Alternate numbers for DH, Grandparent (include grandparents full names in case they swing by - she should know who to let in & who not) who can pick up your child if you cannot schedule (naps, feedings) insurance info - group #, etc - if not spare ins. card RX card age & weight of children - for medicine dosage if necessary. also in case of emergency, they'll need to know that pediatrician number - they shouldn't be calling them w/o having called you first but just in case. Any known allergies (food, medicine)
etd - a recent picture of them in case they turn up lost.
Where the flashlights are (Maddie's first babysitter was scheduled in 2003 during the night of the blackout) - so we tell them all where to find the flashlight & spare batteries out of habit..
I realize reading this you're probably thinking how paranoid I am - I'm not thinking of disasters that may or may not happen but from a decade of event experience, you just pick up stuff.
That's off of the top of my head if I think of anymore I'll post them.

Re: Please remind me of some inportant things to tell the sitter.....
When DH and I leave Carolyn with a sitter, we leave my cell, dh cell, where we are going to be with phone number, my MIL/FIL number- both home and cell...
I also write down our address in case there in an emergency and she has to give our address to someone. In addition, I leave 50 dollars which sits in our cupboard permanently, in case G-d forbid, an emergency trip needs to be made with the baby- medications, delivery service, hospital runs, etc... as she does not have a car.
That's pretty much it....
eta---- I'm a SAHM so don't really leave her for too long... just for "dates" in the area.
