In short. A sitter cannot guess your child's rituals; they have to be spelled out. Here is a table for briefing them in Casablanca. Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with a person for babysitting, free quote, payment after the service.
Why the right words matter as much as trust
You know your child inside out: the soft toy that must sit on the left, the nightlight, the phrase that calms them. The person walking through your door knows none of it. A vague brief makes a vague evening; a clear one makes a quiet evening.
Casablanca is a new town laid out beyond the old medina, where city-centre blocks and villas sit side by side, so homes and routines vary a lot. A child in a Maarif flat has different landmarks from one in an Anfa villa with a garden. Describe the place as well as the habits.
The table to fill in before the first evening
Copy it into your notes and complete the right-hand column in your own words.
| What to describe | Question to ask yourself | Example wording |
|---|---|---|
| Meals | What does the child eat alone? What is off limits? | "Eats alone but refuses anything mixed together." |
| Allergies and health | What should raise the alarm? | "Allergic to this food; the first-aid kit is here." |
| Bedtime | Which ritual, light and object? | "One story, nightlight on, door ajar." |
| Fears | What makes them cry? | "Scared of the lift noise." |
| Screens | Allowed, and on what condition? | "One cartoon, then nothing." |
| House rules | What is not allowed? | "No balcony without an adult." |
This is not a form to read out at the door. Fill it in the night before and leave it where it is easy to see in the kitchen.
What the sitter should know without ringing you ten times
Practical details prevent worry: where the change of clothes is, which bedroom, which cupboard, which things to keep out of reach. Say how to reach you, who to call in an emergency, and roughly when you will be back.
On safety, do not settle for "be careful". Say it plainly: cleaning products are here, medicines there, the front door stays shut, and nobody else comes in.
How it works through AdomApp
In your request for babysitting, boil the table down to a few lines: how many children, how the evening runs, the sensitive points. Adom connects you with a person and does not employ them, so they reply directly and can ask questions before the first evening.
There is no fixed rate: the quote is personalised and free on AdomApp. If you want a short meet-and-greet beforehand, ask for it in the conversation; children settle more easily.
Updating the brief over time
After the first evening, ask how it went: what worked, what surprised them. Edit the table. Children change and so do the rules. Casablanca is a big port city where working hours stretch, so if your return times vary, note it in advance instead of sending a rushed message at the last minute.

Frequently asked questions
What should I tell a babysitter before the first evening?
Meals, allergies, the bedtime ritual, fears and house rules. A table filled in the night before is enough.
Should I leave written instructions?
Yes, they are more reliable than a few words at the door. Put them somewhere visible, such as on the fridge.
Can I meet the person beforehand?
Yes, ask for it in the AdomApp conversation. A short meeting reassures both child and parents.
What if my child has special needs?
Describe them simply and openly in the request, so the person can tell whether they are comfortable with the situation before accepting.
How much does babysitting cost in Casablanca?
It depends on the need. The quote is personalised and free on AdomApp, and payment comes after the service.
