I've just set up an interview for a regular drop-in -- it sounds like they'd only need me when the parents' work schedules overlap by a few hours (3 or 4), and that would only happen a few times every couple of weeks. I don't mind taking them on until I get a permanent dck for that spot. But I've never taken a child as a regular drop-in -- only one-time things for friends. How do you do it? Do you have them sign a contract and do all of the same registration? And what guidelines should I use for letting me know when the child will be here (ie. how much notice should I ask for, etc).?
