7 Nanny Daily Log Books

Products Nannies Love

Although there are apps nannies and parents can use to communicate with one another daily, I am old-school and still prefer having a paper notebook or journal to record my nanny kids’ daily milestones in.

You can make a nanny daily log simply by using a three-ring binder or folder kept in a easy to access spot for the family and nanny, such as the kitchen.

The daily log should contain all emergency phone numbers, schedules, and any emergency information that may be needed such as health insurance numbers, allergies the children have, and medications children may be taking.

Nannies, au pairs, and sitters should list what the children eat each day on the daily log sheet. When working with infants caregivers should record the times and amounts the infant eats, when and how long they nap, and how many times their diapers were changed. Any change in feeding or diaper changes should be noted.

But, much easier than making your own nanny log, is to just buy a cute baby journal.

Here are some great nanny baby logs to use when working as a nanny:
