I have a little girl starting next week with a tree nut allergy. I know some providers won't accept a child with severe allergies however I have decided to take her on. We don't eat a ton of peanut products to begin with (I don't eat any as my brother had the allergy growing up) but the little bit we had I have cleared out.
My question is what to do to prep for her arrival. She is 3 yrs old and quite verbal. She knows to ask before she eats anything. She also has an EpiPen. I am writing a memo to daycare families letting them know we are becoming tree nut free and asking them to wash their child's hands/face and brush their teeth in the mornings before arriving (if they have consumed peanut products). I was thinking about having the family with the allergic child sign something so not to hold me legally responsible if something were to happen. Anyone have something like this?
