Free Nanny
Service Agreement
One slip on a toy and you're facing a medical liability suit that eats your house while they 'forget' to pay your final invoice. If it isn't in writing, you’re just an unpaid servant with no leverage when the parents decide to stop cutting checks.
Pro Contractor Tip
Demand a 'Guaranteed Hours' clause so you get paid your full weekly rate even if the family decides to skip town for a last-minute vacation.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Nanny, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The parents keep adding 'light housekeeping' chores that weren't discussed. How do I handle the extra work?
Treat it like a change order on a job site; point to your contract's specific task list and inform them that additional duties require a formal amendment and a higher hourly rate.
They’re consistently 20 minutes late coming home, and it’s cutting into my own time for free.
Stop being a doormat and enforce a per-minute late fee in your agreement to ensure your time is respected and every extra minute is billed at a premium.
What happens if they fire me on the spot because a relative showed up to help for free?
A solid contract includes a 'Termination Notice' period requiring two weeks of pay if they cut you loose early, preventing your bank account from taking a hit because of their lack of planning.
