People can put it into contracts, but as we all know enforcing any nanny contract in a court of law has never been successfully done before so no one is truly bound by law to one.

Essentially they are Gentlemen's Agreements, just in writing.

This is NOT true. Why do you constantly spout this? Nanny contracts are just as enforceable as any other document that you sign. Do not sign something you don't intend to be bound by.

It IS true. And I'm a different poster, so you may stop pretending it's only one.

If you still believe yourself, please name one single case where a court has ruled that the duration of a nanny job must be upheld.

I'm not pretending anything. One idiot can always find company, so I'm not at all surprised that there's more than one of you.

No actual court cases to support your nonsense, huh?

Hi. I am an former employment lawyer, and I can tell you without a single doubt that a nanny contract for a specified length of time would be absolutely enforceable in court. Now, a court would almost certainly never order that the family actually employ the nanny for the length of the contract, but they would order the family to pay the nanny for the rest of the contract. This is just a basic principle of contract law, and if you don't believe it, there's not really any point discussing it. I'm not going to bother searching Westlaw for you.[/quote]

There is no way you're a lawyer. No lawyer would ever guarantee without a "single doubt" that a contract is "absolutely enforceable in court" without reading the contract. It's all about the specifics of the contract and if you can't be bothered to provide proof for your wild presumptions, then you don't know what you're talking about.

Your dismissal of the importance of proof (is it really so hard to search Westlaw?) supports that you're no lawyer.[/quote]
Well, what's your opinion? 
Can a written agreement trump "at will" status?
Yes or no?[/quote]
