We have a college student who be working for us as a part time nanny this school year. She'll be working 20 hours/week. I'm trying to work through the last few details to put together a nanny contract for her.
What are the standard/fair provisions for a part time nanny? We were thinking 5 paid sick days for her and she still gets paid if someone in our family is sick and she cannot work as a result. Is that fair? Are paid holidays standard for part time nannies? Is there anything else I'm missing? Especially Covid-related? She has a high risk family member, so we have agreed that everyone will wear masks when they are indoors and in the same room. Any suggestions on a pay roll service to use? She's a great young woman and I'm excited to have her work with my kids this year. I want to make sure I'm treating her fairly. We are new to using a nanny, so advice is appreciated. Thank you. |

Sounds good. Yes, she gets paid legal holidays if they fall on her scheduled work day.
Good luck! |
Are you planning to give her a 20 hour guaranteed pay whether or not you need her for whatever reason and she's available? If not, please consider it. This includes if her workday falls on a holiday or a day you yourself take off personally. For 10 years and two part-time positions, I had guaranteed pay like this and wouldn't accept it any other way. |
