Child Temporary Medical Consent Form

Go to this website for a list of sample medical child temporary consent forms. http://www.docstoc.com/search/free-babysitter-medical-consent-form/ These are perfect for occasions when you have a babysitter on duty or if your child goes to daycare or a summer camp or a visit with family where you won't be present. Be sure to note any allergies, conditions or diseases your child has, health insurance information, the family Dr.'s name and phone number. Also note if the child wears corrective glasses or contacts since if they are in an accident they may need that information. Any detail no matter how insignificant can help out in a crisis and calm the child's fears about being cared for in the event of an emergency. If it is for a babysitter, make the babysitter put a copy of the forms in her purse and put a second copy on the refrigerator where it's handy and can be readily seen by emergency personnel in the event the accident involved the babysitter. Another nice idea is to attach a recent photo of your child to the form so that they can be easily identified if they are unconscious. Safety first!
