"There's so much to tell a new babysitter on her first day with your kids, and The Nanny Toolbox might just help you remember all those details. This handy electronic kit thinks of everything - from where you keep the diapers to what's your child's favorite lovey."
- Today's Parent Magazine, August, 2010
"A new nanny arrives to help take care of the things you value most... your home and your family. Every family has a zillion routines and very particular preferences that are not easy to communicate. Conveying all of this information to the new nanny can be a very overwhelming and time-consuming task. Lisa is a mom who learned from her own experience and created The Nanny Toolbox to help parents and new caregivers. The Nanny Toolbox is a digital family manual filled with schedules and forms that are designed for you to fill out with ease. From meal plans and feeding instructions to laundry and play date information, Lisa has thought of every possible detail. I think The Nanny Toolbox is BRILLIANT and have personally used it when our new nanny arrived. It helped me to stay organized, save time and alleviate a lot of anxiety!"

"It never fails. We're on our way out and just as we're rounding the corner, we are seized with panic. Did we tell the sitter that our three-year-old is allergic to kiwi, that our one-year-old won't sleep without her purple bear, or where we hide the good snacks?
We don't want to be the kind of mother who can't leave her kids for 10 minutes without calling to say "just one more thing." But the thing is... we kind of are that mother. And now we've found an efficient way to hide it.
The Nanny Toolbox (from $14.99) offers a collection of forms that help us organize and communicate all the things we want the sitter, the nanny or the grandparents on duty to know. The forms are so comprehensive that there's no chance we'll forget any of the gory details.
What's the bedtime routine? Can the kids go to the bathroom on their own or do they need help? Which DVD cures a meltdown the quickest? There's even a form to help plan meals and snacks so we don't come home to a sugar rush in progress.
So now when that familiar pang of anxiety arises, we just breathe it out. No need to call - it's like we left a little piece of ourselves behind."

"Here at Superwoman.ca we're always on the lookout for things that can make your hectic life a little easier. With so much to organize and plan for, it's easy to feel overwhelmed with details, especially when it comes to logistics of running an efficient household. Whether it's a daycare provider, nanny or babysitter, you have particular ways of how you want things done for your family. But communicating all of that information to your providers and/or helpers is no easy task, until now.
The Nanny Toolbox is the first set of ready-made tools that we've seen that really gives you a comprehensive kit full of forms and information that makes organizing all of the itty-bitty details of running your house as simple as it can be. Instead of making your own to-do lists from scratch on a word processor or spreadsheet, the Nanny Toolbox does it all for you. All you have to do is print it out and start checking off and/or filling out pre-made forms that were specifically designed for communicating with daycare providers, babysitters and nannies.
Take a deep breath and check out the Nanny Toolbox, help is on the way!"
