2 weeks paid vacation

Unlimited sick days - also, if family gets nanny sick, family pays all costs incurred (Tylenol, NyQuil, doctor appointment co-pays, etc)

All federal holidays - paid time off

If family goes on vacation / doesn’t need nanny, nanny still get paid for those days

Additional paid days off include - day after thanksgiving, 12/23-1/2

Nanny employer also pays:
Workers comp
Heath insurance
Disability insurance
Life insurance

And obviously nanny employer pays legally above board, covering employer portion of Medicare and social security (FICA taxes), etc.

If the job requires nanny to use a car, employer supplies the car for nanny use. Adds nanny to auto insurance coverage.

If nanny works more than 8 hours, nanny gets 1 hour paid lunch break plus 15 minute breaks in AM and PM.

Nannies please ask for workers comp, this should be a must in every contract. Never ever settle for less than 7 sick days

Well she is a human who owns a body so yes, we let her attend necessary appointments for her health and well being.

If Nanny’s appt is longer than 3 hours, she’d then take half a day. But if it’s a routine exam and comes back to work afterwards, then nanny won’t use PSL and since the hours are guaranteed she won’t get her hours clipped.

How else would she go to appointments?

Just put in the contract to give two weeks notice for drs appointments

Of course, pp, she can use them for whatever she wants

Never ever had an employer give me less than $350 for health stipend

Nanny here, ever since covid my employers give me unlimited sick time as they also get unlimited sick time in their office jobs. I hardly ever take a day but when a child is sick(flu, strep, respiratory infection, covid)they don’t want me in for 48 hours and never clip me on my guaranteed weekly pay.

PP, 5 sick days is what’s standard, below 5 days would be considered below standard. For a nanny- someone working with children, it would be wise to consider her health and insure she does not come into work just because she has no days to cover her illness and then possibly expose the family to illness.

2weeks vacation and 3-5 sick days is standard and paid holidays

We have a FT career nanny and we provide all the benefits as follows: 2 weeks PTO the 1st year, all holidays paid including the day after Thanksgiving and Juneteenth, worker’s comp, flexibility during increment of weather, 7 sick days, $400 healthcare stipend/month and legal overtime paid, annual bonus at the end of the year of about 3k. All this on the books including the overtime.

Standard is 2 weeks paid vacation time, one week sick time, paid holidays. Most families also offer a monthly health insurance stipend around $200/mo

Hello,

I am wondering what benefits everyone is offering their nannies and what would be considered the "standard." Thank you for your help!
