What to Put in a Household Playbook for Your Nanny or House Manager

Every household runs on a hundred small facts that usually live in a parent's head. A household playbook writes them down once, so anyone helping in your home can find the answer without a text message.

Health and safety

  • Allergies and dietary restrictions for each child
  • Medications, dosages, and when they're given
  • Pediatrician, dentist, and urgent care details
  • Emergency contacts and who's authorized for pickup

Daily routines

  • Wake-up, nap, and bedtime routines
  • What each child likes and dislikes to eat
  • Screen time rules and favorite activities
  • School, practice, and lesson schedules

The house itself

  • Wi-Fi password, alarm and door codes
  • Where the first aid kit, spare keys, and fuse box are
  • Trash and recycling days
  • Pet care instructions

Keep it living, not laminated

A printed binder goes out of date the week a nap schedule changes. A shared, editable playbook stays current — and a new babysitter or house manager can get up to speed on day one.
