Nanny Share Agreement Between Families

About this document

What it’s for

In a nanny share, two families share the cost of one nanny, who usually cares for the children together. Each family is normally a separate employer, with its own payroll and pension duties, and the nanny should have a contract with each family. This agreement sets out how the families will work together and share costs – it sits alongside the nanny’s employment contracts.

When to use it

  • When setting up a nanny share
  • When a share family changes or a new child joins
  • If the families need to resolve a disagreement
