Nanny Contract - It is simply a list of terms to which both parties agreed. But written agreement provides to you and to your nanny a legal document stating the expectations of both parties and how the negative situations will be handled. Another fact is agreement are also legally enforceable in a court of law. Make sure your agreement out line every details regarding your nanny's job. Below I mention few important details you should enter to your agreement.
Your nanny's primary job would be caring your child. So include all the childcare duties your nanny would be doing. You may include things like taking your child to school, picking from after school activities, preparing meals for your child, dressing, brushing teeth, scheduled hours for any playing activities etc. The agreement may also include safety caring of your child, monitoring educational work etc. If you are willing to get help from your nanny to household work, include those household duties in the agreement as well. It can be regarding your child's work or over all household work. Clean up the kitchen, dining table and child's laundry, vacuuming, making meals would be few examples.
Something you do not want to forget is, mentioning the work schedule of your nanny in the work agreement. How many hours per day, per week, and what are the days to work - include those in the agreement. Also mention a leave plan, how the leaves are allowed. Like any work agreement a well detailed paying method. How much do you expect to pay your nanny for a hour? How much for an extra hour? Will the payments are deducted by leaves? etc. Also clearly mention when the payment review will take place. In case, your nanny may need to her vehicle to transport your child, will you are willing to pay the fuel charge? Mention those as well.
The agreement should clearly outline what can lead to termination of your nanny's job. So I hope this will help you to make a good agreement with your nanny. Try to make it simple, but do not try to shortened it.
