Helpful info for leaving toddler

I’m trying to write a brief list of important info for our family friend who is lined up to care for our toddler when I’m in labour. She’ll be coming to our house. She’s sensible and I’m sure they’ll be just fine, I’m just trying to make her life a bit easier. Toddler talks well too so can tell her lots of stuff.

So far I’ve got

  1. List of easy foods he’ll eat without a fuss
  2. Which channel/app to find a particular tv show/movie if he asks for it (to avoid meltdowns!)
  3. Instructions for medications he takes
  4. Basic bedtime routine
  5. Where spare sheets are if he wets the bed, where Calpol etc is
  6. List of back up emergency numbers

Anything I’ve missed? Just thinking of those little pointers where you’re in someone else’s house and you can’t find something when you need it!

I'd get stuff like Calpol, spare clothes/pjs/sheets out and put them somewhere visible so it's easy to fine

Rough schedule of meal times?
Easy to grab snacks?
Dig out favourite toys & books so he's got his best things easy to access?

Could you have your friend round for a day and do everything with her? Then she'll know exactly what you usually do in terms of routine etc?
