I have my normal contract for full time children and hourly care children. However, a parent approached me about caring for their child when the parent deploys for over half of the year with the military. What kinds of statements would you put in the contract? We live in a decent income area, and I don't want to gouge the parent. I am thinking $100 on top of the $90 they pay a week, is that reasonable? During the time away, the parent will not be paying any housing expenses, because all belongings are going into storage. I am assuming it will be doable, since the parent will be saving upwards of $1,500 a month on rent and utilities.
So far, ideas for the contract that I have thought of are:
-Parent pays for haircuts
-Parent pays for clothes and shoes
-Parent pays for school supplies
-Parent pays for school meals
-Copy of court orders (because this child has them)
-Power of Attorney
-If something happens to the parent, what happens with the child.
I look forward to all of your wonderful opinions!
