    My parent handbook is 31 pages (last pg is the policy contract), I have a two page financial agreement.

    Since we're on the topic-

    Does anyone have a separate contract/financial agreement for drop in care?

    Thanks!

        Yep, I do. I have one contract for FT and PT clients with a checkbox to mark whether they want Full-time or Part-time care (since payment and other guidelines are pretty much the same except the actual amount) and then another for drop-in clients. It's a little shorter since I can pull out the stuff about holidays (they obviously don't pay for holidays) and late payments (no pay no stay and they don't have to pay until the day of drop-off) and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't apply to them. I still give them the handbook though, those rules apply to everyone.

        My contract is 18 pages front and back (36 pages on Word) and my FT & PT contract is 4 pages front and back (8 pages in word), my drop-in contract is 3 pages front and back (6 pages in word). I even have translated contracts in Spanish just in case

          Love it! I need to start working on a drop in contract a/s/a/p...had someone call last week and I'm totally not prepared also need to come up with prices...this lady will only need care here and there so need to break down some hourly rates. Thanks for the advice..have a great afternoon!

            Contract/Handbook

            Is it possible for people to attach their contracts and handbooks to get examples?
