[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies should not sign contracts unless firing for cause is clearly defined, that way a parent cannot make up any excuse at all for terminating your contract early, if you choose to allow it to be a term contract. My contract defines fire for cause as:

-committing a crime
-abusing the children
-persistent tardiness of more than 15 minutes
-persistent non performance of duties, which are also clearly defined and my employers cannot fire me (for cause)because I'm not performing a task I didn't agree to.

It also defines cause for my quitting without notice:
-fear of harm or retribution
-failure to remit payment
-persistent non compliance of the agreed upon terms
-persistent non performance of employer responsibilities (running payroll 
on time, responding to communication attempts, providing me with equipment/materials needed to perform my job, etc)[/quote]

You bring up an interesting question. If you allow parents to include additional work beyond childcare, and you can't get to it because the children require your full attention on some days, you can be fired for cause?

Of course they always say, "the children come first", but from what I hear, they often don't mean it. The spotless house is actually more important to some parents than well cared for children.

We're talking about the content of the contract.
