The nanny isn't going to work full time. Do we still need a nanny contract?
Yes. Regardless of whether the nanny will help you on a full time or part time basis, a nanny contract is essential. It puts their responsibilities as well as the days and hours they are expected to work in writing.
Why should I use a caregiver agreement or nanny contract?
Because without putting your agreement in writing, it can be hard for you to prove what you agreed to in the event that a lawsuit arises. Breach of contract or other lawsuits related to liability may be supported by a written contract. Without a written contract or agreement, it becomes a "he said / she said" matter.
