Our wonderful nanny has been bringing her ds along on an informal basis since she came back from mat leave. She has since said she would like to continue bringing him more permanently. originally we had sought a nanny without children but ours are older now and we would love to keep her so we'll change her contract. so i am going to write a few things into contract eg no going off to the doctors so far away with ehr baby so she isnt available for emergency pick-ups, no bringng her baby along if he is infectious or ill and likely to pass something on and if her baby is ill and she doesnt come, we wont pay her. (of course if she is ill and cant come, we will pay her). is there anything i havent thought of. i was thinking htat if there is a one off particular thing we want her to take our dd's to or whatever tthat wasnt suitable for her ds then she also needs to make otehr arrangements. should i formalise that last bit? her ds is her second child and her parents take care of her dd when she is working for me.
