Nanny & Domestic Help Contracts

Practical legal guidance for families hiring nannies, household managers, housekeepers, caregivers, personal assistants, and other household employees throughout North Carolina.

A well-drafted nanny contract or household employment agreement can help establish clear expectations from the beginning of the employment relationship. I assist families with drafting and reviewing nanny agreements, domestic employment contracts, live-in nanny agreements, household manager contracts, caregiver agreements, and other private household employment documents.

These agreements can address compensation, guaranteed hours, overtime, work schedules, duties and responsibilities, paid time off, holidays, overnight care, family travel, mileage and expense reimbursement, confidentiality, use of household vehicles, benefits, termination, notice requirements, and other terms specific to household employment.

I also help families understand how employment-law requirements can affect nannies and other household employees, including employee classification, wage and hour requirements, overtime, and the distinction between household employees and independent contractors.

Whether you are hiring your first nanny, updating an existing nanny contract, employing a live-in caregiver, or formalizing an arrangement with a household manager or other domestic employee, I provide practical, customized agreements designed to protect both the family and the employment relationship.
