Terms & Conditions

Scheduled hours on contract are charged whether they are used or not, this is time that is reserved for your child.
Unscheduled hours are charged for whole hours or any fifteen-minute fraction thereof.

Payment is for two weeks in advance of your scheduled hours.
Unscheduled charges for clients with a contract are to be paid on the Friday after service. There will be a late payment charge of $20.00 for any overdue checks. They are due by 1:00PM Friday. Returned check fee will be $25.00. You shall be responsible for all my costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in collection of any fees due hereunder. Additionally, you shall be responsible for all my costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in defending any lawsuit brought by you in which I prevail. Such costs and expenses also include, but are not limited to, court cost, bank charges and substitute charges, (i.e. the cost of substituting for my time or an employee/staff’s time while taken away from duties at Robin’s Nest).

I would like you to understand my reasoning for payment of scheduled hours that are not used. First, the space is reserved for your child and my fees are set accordingly. Second, I must be prepared to take your child with minimal delay at arrival so you will not be late for work. The late payment charge is necessary to avoid having to go to the bank to deposit checks at different times or lose the use of the other checks and interest waiting for an overdue check.

I will try to accommodate individual meal schedules and food preferences; however, they must be compatible with my group efforts. If you have unusual food preferences, or extra baby food needs, (i.e. formula and baby food jars) please furnish it for your child.

There will be a four-week notice by either party for discontinuing this contract. Payment is due during this time period for scheduled hours that are used or not used. I will be paid for your scheduled hours during federal government holidays which I plan to take and the day after Thanksgiving.

I will not release any child to anyone not previously arranged. If I have not met the person previously, identification will be required upon pick-up.

Payment is due when you take a vacation because the space is kept reserved for your child. Payment is not due when I take a vacation under this agreement. A separate contract will be provided if my business is open.

Sickness Policy
For the health and well being of all the children who come here (including myself, my staff and my family) do not bring your child to me when he or she has a fever, rash of undetermined origin, is vomiting, has diarrhea, or a confirmed case of strep throat.

Payment of scheduled hours will be refunded if I cannot care for your child during my illness, my family’s, my staff’s, or any emergency situation that would prohibit my providing care for you child. Please tell me of any changes in employment, family, phone numbers, etc. Ask me for your child’s immunization form when he/she get additional shots so you can update my records.

I will not purchase any additional equipment for your child unless specifically arranged for, so please inspect my home for the lack of any equipment or supplies that you may wish your child to have the use of (i.e. diapers, change of clothing, pacifier, diaper wipes, etc.)
