In today's litigious world no one is exempt from being sued
even babysitters. Before it happens to you first determine the limit of your
obligations by writing the terms of your relationship with the children and the
parents or guardians of children. These are some of the important terms to be
contained in your Babysitter Contract.
Instructions
1. If the child you care for is less than a year make sure
the contract contains details about baby feeding schedules and diaper changes.
You must also devise a mechanism to show the times you changed your diaper and
fed your baby to get organized and show your sense of responsibility.
2. The contract should include details about medicines you
should give the child including dosage and number of shots. Again you should
consider a way to verify the information. This information is very important
because it is directly related to the child's safety.
3. If you take the child from home either planned or
unplanned way make a detailed writing because parents have a right to know
where your child is at all times. The contract should also contain information
on where you can locate all the time.
4. If parents expect you to do some other work in addition
to caring for the child must be specified in the contract. Things like cooking
or cleaning the house should be included. And if possible show that you have
carried out the work as agreed.
5. Financial terms of your arrangement must be specifically
mentioned in the contract and should include hourly rate or time and method of
payment. If you normally charge for special services or extra time then those
terms must also be included in the contract.
