Known allergens
List confirmed allergens in plain language — specific foods or ingredients your clinician has identified, not vague terms alone. Caregivers need the same names you use at home and at restaurants so accidental exposure is less likely.

Allergy Information Card
Your card preview will appear here as you type.
Written allergy information helps caregivers understand what your family already knows — known allergens, reaction signs, and emergency contacts in one place. Use this tool to build a printable allergy card that updates as you type; nothing is stored on this page.
How can an allergy card help caregivers?
A visible allergy card reduces guesswork for caregivers who were not at your allergist or pediatrician visits. Listing confirmed allergens, known reaction signs, foods to avoid, and whether epinephrine is prescribed helps sitters, school, and family follow the same plan your clinician provided.
How can parents organize allergy information before leaving a child with another caregiver?
Use when starting daycare, leaving your child with a new sitter, or updating allergy information after a specialist visit. Print or share the card after you confirm details with your pediatrician or allergist — especially before another caregiver watches your child.
What should caregivers know before watching a child with allergies?
This card organizes already-known allergy information for caregivers. It is not medical advice and does not replace a clinician-signed allergy action plan. Epinephrine use and emergency steps should always follow the written plan your child's doctor provides. If a reaction looks severe, contact emergency services as your plan directs.
What should parents include on an allergy card?
These fields match what many families include on a caregiver allergy card — not a complete list for every child. Your pediatrician or allergist can confirm what belongs on your family's plan.
Known reaction signs
Describe reaction signs your child has had before — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or breathing changes — as your doctor has documented them. This helps caregivers recognize what your family already considers a known pattern, not to interpret a new problem on their own.
Foods to avoid
Include foods and ingredients to avoid, including cross-contact risks your allergist discussed. Many families note hidden sources (baked goods, sauces, shared utensils) so school and sitters see the same boundaries you follow at home.
Epinephrine prescription status
State whether epinephrine is prescribed, where the device is kept, and expiry if your plan includes it. Caregivers should not decide on their own whether to use epinephrine — they follow the written allergy action plan from your child's clinician.
Written allergy plan
Note whether your family has a clinician-signed allergy action plan and where it is stored. Schools and camps often require the official plan in addition to a parent-made card; both should align with your doctor's instructions.
Pediatrician contact
Include your pediatrician or allergist phone number and after-hours line. Caregivers can call when something looks different from known reaction signs and you are not reachable.
Emergency contact information
Add parent mobile numbers and when to call emergency services per your action plan. Posting the same numbers on the card and at the caregiver's location reduces delay during a stressful moment.
