Communicating Potty Needs to the Babysitter

Being a past babysitter and now a mom, I know that potty training takes patience and time. Right now, we are in the midst of potty training and by the end of the day, I have no energy left. But I would like to get away occasionally to have sometime for myself. So, I need to communicate with whoever is watching Ethan about the potty training schedule and other hints.
I know my child best. Let's face it - I spend almost 24 hours no more than one room away from him.
Here are some ideas to communicate with babysitters about potty training.
1. Write out your potty schedule. Right now, our potty schedule is in the morning, after meals and at night.
2. Tell/Show the babysitter, your child's favorite activities to entice them to use and stay on the potty. I try to have a really cool book or song for Ethan when he sits on the potty. That way he has an "extra" reason to the potty.
3. Write down any regular routine. Going to the potty means different things to different people. Some parents consider just pee or poop to be using the potty, while other parents consider pulling off pants, sitting down, wiping, flushing and washing hands to be part of "using the potty."
4. Write down what to do if there is an accident. Does the child or babysitter clean it up? Do you switch to diapers?
5. Give rewards. Yea!! The pee and poop went into the potty. Now what? Do you have stickers? A special song? Praise? Let the babysitter know what works best for both of you.
6. Show were you keep the potty supplies - diapers, wipes, toilet ring, underwear, change of clothes, etc. Make sure to bring the potty supplies, if your child is being watched somewhere other than your house.
7. Multiple Kids. If you have more than one child, what does the other child do, while the other one is sitting on the potty?
8. Special Needs. If your child has special needs, you may need to spend extra time teaching your babysitter how to handle certain situations. Modeling (showing what you do) for a couple hours or more is probably the best solution.

Remember, your child needs consistency with using the potty. If you are not always there for him/her, then someone else needs to fill in for you. Don't be surprised to see a very tired babysitter, when you come back.
