Things to consider when deciding what information to include on your Mums Card:


1. Give and alternative contact person
If one of your intended uses for your Mums Card is for your babysitter, nanny, child care workers, family or friends that look after your children then it is worthwhile including and alternative contact in case for some unforeseeable reason you can not be reached. There is a number of ways that you can write other contacts names and numbers;
 - Alternative Contact(s)
 - Emergency Contact(s)
 - If necessary, please contact
 
Names are helpful plus how they relate to your children;
 - Simon (Dad) 0400 000 000
 - Dad (Simon) 0400 000 000
 - Simon Williams 0400 000 000
 - Simon 0400 000 00
 
2. Only include relevant details
There are two main things to consider here;
     1) What details you regularly give people who are looking after your children, and
     2) What personal/family details you are comfortable giving to people.
 
Think about what details you are comfortable giving to a new career, an old school friend that you run into or a new friend that you meet at the park or school. Only include details on your Mums Card that you are happy to share.
 
3. Include details of Allergy or Illnesses and if relevant how to manage them
Keep your descriptions concise and to the point. Give steps of what needs to happen if an emergency situation occurs.
 
Ensure details that need to be known are included if there is an emergency eg date of birth, alternative contacts, all allergies
