Contract is a full set of rules in writing. Nothing is missed or forgotten. There is no playing dumb after the fact because it is all in black and white- everyone has agreed!

I have had parents say my contract is too strict - no problem - if you don't like it I don't want you as a family. The one I just signed on for September said my contract was perfect and that's exactly what kind of provider she was looking for. It also cuts down on my interview as they have already read it and often come with next to no questions as it is already all written out!
