Don't Leave Home Without a Contract
HOW YOU HANDLE YOUR JOB IS A SIGN OF YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.
As a professional Newborn Care Specialist, Doula, or Newborn Nanny, it’s essential to have every detail in writing. A lot can happen on a job, and both you and the families you work with need legal protection. At Gentle Ventures, we provide professional, easy-to-use contracts that take the stress out of accepting new positions.
Whether your commitment is one week or one year, you should always have a contract in place to safeguard your rights. Please see our sample contracts in the links provided.
A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties. To be valid, it must have a lawful purpose, mutual agreement, consideration, competent parties, and genuine assent.
