I will also need you to sign a weekly register of the hours that I care for your child. Monthly I will need you to sign for the amount of money you have paid me. You will need to fill in a permission form for me to administer medication and to then sign daily the amount of medicine I have given your child. Hopefully not very often, you will be required to sign the accident book for any injuries that your child substains whilst in my care.
