I am going be to looking after a new child to me for a few days as holiday cover. I know I really should do a contract, but it is such a lot of paperwork etc, would you do it? I would never usually question it and do it anyway but parent didn't ask about it so I am wondering now!!

In my opinion its always better to be safe than sorry. You are a professional business and should act like one. Ive just done holiday cover this week. Contracts and policies are there to protect us, the children and the parents.[wink. Lecture over.

I have shor term cntracts that I type up (but I found out I forgot to put a late collection fee - so maybe proper contracts are better)

You can get short term contracts from NCMA can't you?

Thanks for your replies.

I have already decided (pretty much after I posted) that I will do one as my insurance will not be valid without a contract. I have some ncma short term ones so will use one of those.
