New nanny - questions #2

26 replies

Just wondering some last questions before I start looking for jobs;

  1. If nanny takes the children out and buys food/drink for them, does nanny or employer cover the cost? If so, what is the process of this? Are nannies ok to buy toys and things for the children when out on day trips?

  2. Similarly, if nanny wanted to buy resources/toys/games etc., in their own time, that they want to share with/give to the children, whose pocket does the money come out of?

  3. What will they ask of me when I agree? Will they want to see a driving license/form of identification or anything like that?!

  4. I have had CRB(DBS) checks in the past from working in daycare, would I need to have a new one for a new nanny job?

  1. Does nanny need public liability insurance (such as nannyinsure)? Who would cover the cost of this?

I ask these questions about covering costs not because I care about the costs personally (I wouldn't mind if the employers didn't cover the cost of toys I bought for the children!) but because I don't want to be totally clueless about the average nanny situation
