How to Write a Child Care Authorization Letter?

Here is how you can draft a Letter of Authorization for child care:

1. Address the recipient if necessary - if you know the only third party that may request permission, for example, a daycare center administration, you may salute them. Otherwise, you may add "To whom it may concern."
2. Identify yourself, your child or children, and the individual or organization that will take care of the children - it will be enough to indicate the full names of all people involved.
3. Confirm your intention to give a person or institution you trust permission to take care of your children.
4. Outline the duties the temporary caregiver will be allowed to perform - for instance, they can drive your son or daughter to school, but they cannot go on a trip with your children. If you are going on vacation or have to be absent for several days or weeks for another reason, it is a good idea to provide the person you trust with authorization to make medical decisions on behalf of your children.
5. State the duration of the authorization. It is recommended to prepare a temporary Child Care Authorization Letter to avoid misunderstandings and show the third party the limitations of permission.
6. Record your contact information in case the recipient wants to verify the details in your statement and sign the document. You may notarize the letter; however, it will work just fine without a notary seal.
