Once you have decided to employ a nanny, and give them an offer letter, it is advisable to
include the key terms and conditions of the role, such as:
Job title,
Job description,
Days/hours of work,
Holiday entitlement,
Notice period,
Statutory payments,
Disciplinary and Grievance procedures
It is essential that all the terms and conditions of the employment are addressed in the form
of a contract of employment and this must be given to nanny to sign within 2 months of them
starting the position.
Once nanny accepts your offer of employment, you have entered into a legal arrangement,
(subject to satisfactory references) therefore the sooner a contract is drawn up between the
employer and the nanny, the better.
