[quote=Anonymous]MB here - some great advice above.  In our contract we specify exact hours/days of the week, salary amount per week and what that equates to as regular and overtime hourly rates, number of vacation days, number (and which) of paid federal holidays, and number of sick days.

We detail additional benefits (car allowance, healthcare contribution, etc...).  We specify giving notice from either party in the event of termination or departure from position.  We specify grounds for termination with cause (breach of trust, theft, endangering the child, breaching terms of contract).  We specify that the parents are in charge of decisions re schedule, diet, activities etc... but nanny is included in those decisions and her input is sought.  We specify who is allowed access to the house and what the parameters are for the nanny re those issues (maintenance work, housecleaners, friends, family, guests, etc...)  We specify that the nanny has full use/access to all shared household space and amenities (place to keep food, use of phone, etc...)

We specify that we will pay all appropriate taxes and manage withholding, that salary will be direct deposited weekly, etc...

I think those are most of the key points.  We also do an annual update/addendum - which usually is just a letter saying how happy we are to have our nanny with us, giving her a raise (and detailing that) and any other adjustments/bonus amounts/perks...  It serves as documentation of salary adjustments and also a review of sorts.

I think an annual "evaluation" discussion is a great idea and wish I'd built that in.  Will keep that in mind in the future.[/quote]
