Document background
The Nanny Employment Contract is essential for families in England and Wales who are employing childcare professionals in their homes. This document ensures compliance with UK employment law while protecting both parties' interests. The contract includes detailed specifications about working conditions, responsibilities, compensation, and legal obligations. It's particularly important as nannies are considered household employees under UK law, requiring adherence to employment regulations including the National Minimum Wage, Working Time Regulations, and safeguarding requirements. The contract should be used whenever a family is hiring a nanny, whether full-time, part-time, or live-in, to ensure clear understanding and legal compliance.
