Nanny Employment Contract (Written Statement of Employment Particulars)
About this document
A family who employs a nanny is an employer, with the same legal duties as any other employer. Every employee must receive a written statement of the main terms of employment on or before their first day. This contract covers those terms and the matters that come up most often in nanny employment, such as gross pay, overtime, babysitting, holidays when the family is away, and confidentiality.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
