Incident reports that protect you and the child
- Severity level, what happened, what you did and photos
- Parents are notified and acknowledge in their app
- Only a parent can mark a report as acknowledged
- A permanent, dated record of what happened and when
In short
NannyLog lets nannies and babysitters document incidents such as falls, bumps or behavior concerns with a severity level, notes and photos. Parents are notified and acknowledge the report in their app, creating a dated record.
Why written incident reports matter
Small accidents happen in every childcare job. Telling the parent at pickup is good; writing it down as it happens is better. A written record with the time, what happened and the first aid you gave protects the child, the family and you.
What to include
- When and where it happened
- What happened, in plain facts
- Any injury and the first aid given
- How the child was afterwards
- Photos where appropriate
In an emergency, call your local emergency number first and contact the parents directly. Document afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Can a nanny mark an incident as acknowledged?
No. Only a parent connected to the child can acknowledge an incident report, so the acknowledgement genuinely shows the parent has seen it.
