We have downloadable contracts, risk assessments, job descriptions, and more. Many nanny contracts these days are written to protect your employers, not you. We hope that our resources can help ensure that you are protected at work from day one.
This document tells you everything you need to know about working safely as a nanny or au pair. We discuss ways of finding work, how to screen potential employers, and what to consider when starting a new role.

This is a template letter to your employer to request a risk assessment. As part of any employed role, you are entitled to a risk assessment that your employers must carry out to make sure you are working safely. Especially during COVID-19, risk assessments are a vital way of setting boundaries between employees and employers and ensuring that nannies & au pairs are protected in their workplaces.

While we do not recommend self-employed nanny contracts as
a) Nannies are not generally considered as self-employed
b) Self-employment leaves nannies vulnerable to exploitation
However, if you do choose to be self-employed, please make sure to sign an independent contractor agreement with your employer.
It is your employer’s responsibility to carry out an Employment Status check to confirm you are eligible to be self-employed for this role. This help protest you in cases of false self-employment (where you are being treated as an employee but paid as a contractor).
This is a sample contract for any nanny who is not self-employed. It can be adapted to live-in or live-out arrangements.

This document is designed to help you understand what can reasonably be expected of you as an au pair, live-in, or live-out nanny. Specifically, we detail what an au pair role looks like and when it crosses over into a live-in worker role (which should be paid at an hourly rate). We also outline what is fair and unfair for your employer to ask you to do (eg. cleaning).
