Hype or helpful
Would you pay to have someone write up a nanny contract?

I wouldn't. I found lots of good sample contracts online and I took pieces of several of them to build my own. I then let our nanny review it and see if she wanted to add/revise anything and we have a good working document that we all agreed to.

| No, DH is a lawyer and I'm not too much of an idiot. Either of us could take an hour and create one. |

OP here how would you feel if your nanny presented you with a contract she wanted?

Most professional nannies do have a contract draft they've used before.
OP's contract doesn't have sufficient protections for the nanny. |

I wouldn't.
Because in the event that one side breaches it, most likely it will not stand up on a court of law since a judge cannot rule that a person is obligated to provide a service to the other. Plus, any employment in the U.S. is "at-will." |
