Most likely I will be leaving my current family effective July. We should have known in October whether they will be transferred (military) but no word yet.
My question is: Should I have a contract with my new family? I want to be treated with any family the way I am treated with my current one. Here would be my requests:
Vacations: I would ask to be paid for 1 week on my behalf. Any and all vacations the family takes would also be paid.
Sick time: I would not ask to be paid if I was sick. However if the child(ren) were sick then I would ask to be paid.
Holidays: I would ask for all major holidays to be time off with pay
Overtime: I would ask that if the family requires care past my normal working times, (IE date night) to be paid extra.
I receive all this and then some from my current family and there is no contract. My fear is that I won't be offered any of this.
I have seen nanny contracts however they are from family to the nanny. Any help would be appreciated!
