Description and instructions for using the caregiver's log

The Caregiver’s Log will help employer tell an employee what to do or what he/she may not have done as requested, write assignments, and remember important dates and appointments, such as birthdays, children’s play dates, school holidays, elderly doctor’s appointments and more.

It will also help caregivers keep a daily log of activities and descriptions of what happened with the people they are caring for and what they need for the next day.

Employers will no longer have to worry about making sure they’ve verbally communicated all the minute details with their caregiver/employee because they can easily see a written record of the day-to-day activities of their children or aging parents. The family's physician and pediatrician will also appreciate this great tool.

The Caregiver‘s Log glossary is translated into three languages: English, French, and Spanish. It contains:

1. Family’s rules page: Here, the family writes down all their house rules, whether it is about food, their children’s play dates or elderly parents’ medical needs.

2. Employer's note and assignment pages: Here, employers can give instructions, remind, and congratulate caregivers.

3. Daily schedule pages: Here, caregivers check what activities they have done. These pages also serve as a planner and agenda for important dates.

4. Caregiver's daily note pages: Here, caregivers note what happened in each day; important event, and what may be needed for the next day.

5. Description pages: Here, caregivers describe the activities, where they took place, and their cost, if applicable – for example, the cost of gifts and transportation to a child’s birthday party.

6. Employer and caregiver summary of the month pages: Here Employers and their caregivers can summarize the most important assignments and events at the end of each month. Note: At the beginning of the month for the employer and at the end for the caregiver.

7. Special page: Here, the family notes important event dates, such as birthdays and school breaks, but also emergency and relatives phone numbers.
