Benefits for a FT Nanny

Unlimited sick days - also, if family gets nanny sick, family pays all costs incurred (Tylenol, NyQuil, doctor appointment co-pays, etc)

All federal holidays - paid time off

If family goes on vacation / doesn’t need nanny, nanny still get paid for those days

Additional paid days off include - day after thanksgiving, 12/23-1/2

Nanny employer also pays:
Workers comp
Heath insurance
Disability insurance
Life insurance

And obviously nanny employer pays legally above board, covering employer portion of Medicare and social security (FICA taxes), etc.

If the job requires nanny to use a car, employer supplies the car for nanny use. Adds nanny to auto insurance coverage.

If nanny works more than 8 hours, nanny gets 1 hour paid lunch break plus 15 minute breaks in AM and PM.

All of the above plus GUARANTEED hours is a must

Oh yeah, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, vitamins and 3 restaurant meals a day while she is sick since she is too tired to cook, plus all co-pays. In case the nanny gets my child sick, she would be responsible for paying all of the above, please include that in your contract, lol. Some people make ridiculous comments!

Not ridiculous at all; it’s only fair to ask for all benefits just as any working parent.

DP. To be far, working parents don't get reimbursed by their employer when they get sick from colleagues. We eat that cost completely, even if our colleague gives us COVID or norovirus. But I do think, depending on the illness, it's fair to reimburse nanny in some situations. For example, my toddler gave our nanny pinkeye once. I felt SO BAD! I paid for her doctor's visit and the antibiotics, as well as PTO (I think she only took a day or two).

She shouldn’t have had to use her PTO for something she caught from your child. You should’ve paid for the time she was out and didn’t make her use pto

Agree with this standard. We offer 300 a month for health stipend, but it seems most do offer between 200-400 for that. One additional benefit may be use of employer car for work day or reimbursement for mileage/gas (IRS rate) for use of nanny's own car.
