The three –way work agreement is critical to the success of a nanny share. If done correctly, this document ensures the nanny and all parents are on the same page regarding terms and conditions of employment.
Compensation
What is the nanny’s total compensation, and how will this be split among families?
Coordination of Paid Time Off
Do your vacation schedules align? Are there any holidays the nanny or only one family observe?
Overtime Hours
What will the overtime rate be? Is it different if requested by only one family, and who will pay in that case?
Transportation
Who’s car will be used? Is insurance up to date to include all drivers? Will mileage on the nanny’s vehicle be reimbursed?
Who Pays When Only One Family Needs Care
Is there a different pay rate when the nanny is only caring for one child?
Duties and Expectations
Activities, naps, diet, transportation, meals, laundry… is everyone in agreement?
Severance Agreement Between Families
What happens when one family opts to leave the nanny share? Best practice is to provide four weeks notice.
Parenting Style
Even best friends can have different approaches. Both families should discuss their style with the nanny and ensure that they are compatible.
The Workplace
Is the nanny expected to work at only one home, or both? Don’t forget to check on your insurance requirements. (i.e. Workers Comp)
Notice Requirements
The nanny should give a minimum 2 weeks notice before quitting, but 4 or more gives families an opportunity to make other plans.
