Because a $400/hour lawyer shouldn’t be the only way to stay protected.
Contracts written by attorneys are expensive, and most women-of-color founders can’t afford that level of access. The result? Too many caregivers and families enter caregiving arrangements without clarity, boundaries, or legal protection. That’s how people end up in disputes over payment, responsibilities, emergencies, or confidentiality. This Adult Caregiver Service Agreement Template was created to close that gap. It’s written in plain language, fully editable in Word, and shaped by real disputes I’ve personally experienced—so you can avoid those same issues.
People don’t always respect minority-owned and women-owned caregiving businesses the way they respect larger agencies. This agreement helps shift that dynamic by establishing structure, professionalism, and trust from the very beginning.
