I start a private babysitting job next month in my home. One child. I have raised 2 children of my own, so I do have the experience. Although I am a very safety conscious person, there is always the fear (God forbid) of the child having an accident while under my care. I would like to know how I can protect myself from being sued, but at the same time, I don't want to scare the parent away or make them doubt my ability to do a good job. I am not a licensed daycare provider, but a baby-sitter. I guess you can say it's a "better safe than sorry" precaution I definitely want to take. Are there any legal forms out there that I could have them sign? What I'm looking for is something simple, yet precise. Your help is greatly appreciated.
