That's about it really..... has anyone else done this?

How do you organise a contract/tax etc?

Thank you :)

Thanks nannynick, I will definitely use a payroll company

It would be 9-5 for 4 days a week... so not sure what holiday entitlement that would give

I'd also want to know what kind of mileage rates people generally allow for a small nanny's car (Clio)

Thanks so much for the quick responses

Intro to PAYE - you can get a payroll company to help you if you so wish (they cost around £130 a year), such as www.payefornannies.co.uk

Example Contract will need some modification but should be a starting point.

Search this board for more info on contracts and PAYE plus all things nanny related. Also ask specific questions about things you need help with - for example... employee holiday entitlement (to answer that one we need to know how many days/hours your nanny would be working each week - if working hours each week do not vary).

Planned to do a contract, tax, NI contributions etc by the book, and I will be very specific before we begin about routine, foods, groups etc. She doesn't have children but has experience with young ones

TBH it is just to bridge the gap between baby 1 and baby 2 (2012 fingers crossed) so nothing more than 1 year...

tech yes,you can hire/employ anyone as a nanny in your own home

but i would be very wary of using F&F

a good contract is always essential
