A nanny contract is an agreement that presents the details of a nanny’s working relationship with a family. The document communicates the nanny’s duties and work schedule, their compensation, and for how long their services are needed. The parents can use the contract to relay everything the nanny would need to know about the job, like whether they will be living with the family, the special requirements of each child, and the emergency protocol and contacts.
Creating a nanny contract ensures both parties agree to the payment amount, work schedule, each party’s responsibilities, and all other terms of the working relationship . The contract serves as a reference point for how the nanny will carry out the job and what the client’s expectations are. Furthermore, a nanny contract is a legally binding document that can hold either party liable if they fail to uphold their agreed-upon responsibilities.
A nanny provides child care when the parents cannot. The tasks a nanny might expect to carry out include preparing the children’s meals, transporting them to and from school, cleaning, cooking, and other day-to-day tasks.

While nannies and babysitters share similar duties in that they supervise children, nannies are typically hired for longer terms, whereas babysitters work on-call. Unlike babysitters, nannies tend to develop relationships with children over an extended period and generally have more experience or credentials in child care.
