I had a little girl in care with an epipen that I carried everywhere we went. Thank goodness I never had to use it. She had a severe nut allergy so I was always scanning at the park because people feed nuts to the squirrels and shells were everywhere. I didn't actually make up a document for parents but I do think that is a very good idea. The little girl's Mom taught me how to use the epipen with a 'teacher pen' that wasn't real so I wasn't afraid of that and I also carry medical forms everywhere I go in case I have to ever call the paramedics.

Right now I have a little boy in my daycare who has a milk allergy or something, but it isn't as serious as anaphalactic, we're just trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with his poops and I'm pretty sure the culprit is some type of food.
