Best Practices for Leaving Medical Authorization with Sitters
- Attach a front-and-back photocopy of your family health insurance card and the parent's photo ID directly behind this signed document.
- Store the signed sheet on the refrigerator or inside an easily accessible entryway command center folder where babysitters or grandparents can grab it quickly in an emergency.
- Pair this consent form with our Babysitter & Child Emergency Guide to leave house rules, bedtime routines, and Wi-Fi credentials all in one place.
Important note:
While most urgent care facilities and emergency rooms accept simple signed parental authorization forms, some hospital systems prefer notarized forms for extended parental absences. Notary signature sections are provided at the bottom of the page.
