[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this sounds any more concerning than any other kind of in-home nanny arrangement where the parent is not present. Due diligence -- have a contract. Be clear on situations like: if your child is sick and does not come, do you still pay? If she or her child is sick and contagious and YOUR child cannot share the space, do you not pay? Does she arrange for backup care or is that on you? How much vacation will she have per year and what amount of notice do you want? If you go on vacation, will you still pay her? Put in a four weeks notice clause -- if either you or the other family wants to quit the arrangement, you will give (or pay) for four weeks (either you pay her or she arranges for 4 weeks of backup care for you, something like that). Make sure you are paying minimum wage and taxes. The one thing you don't want to lose sight of is that this is still an employer-employee arrangement, and you are the employer.[/quote]
