[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework Solutions' sample contract says 
"Nanny is an “at will” employee and may choose to work for the family for as little
or as long as she desires. Likewise, the employer may continue the nanny’s
employment for as little or as long as he/they wish. We wish to provide the
nanny with a secure employment situation, to provide our child(ren) with a
stable care-giving environment, and to facilitate the orderly transition between
employment. Therefore, both parties agree to provide ____ weeks notice of
intent to terminate this agreement (or pay in lieu of such notice), except when
such termination is for cause.

Cause is defined as any action on the part of the nanny that endangers the
children in her care, non-performance of job responsibilities, theft or dishonesty,
smoking or alcohol use on duty or any use of illegal drugs, persistent tardiness or
absenteeism, or violation of the confidentiality clause. "

What about "cause" on the part of the employer, such as persistent tardiness?

Why does this contract seek to protect only the employer?? Red flag.
