Nanny self employed or contract?

Hello all,
Having previously hired a nanny with whom things did not work out and having finally managed to settle issues with her and terminate her contract I am now back in the position where I need to hire a new nanny and I'm actually scarred.

I would like any thoughts on if its better to ask the new candidate to be self employed and just have an agreement as to working hours , holiday etc? Any thoughts?

If indeed a contract is the best way to continue and I have to do that then is it possible to have a TERMED contract ie one year and at the end of it I can end the contract if I want to without any comebacks, even if I hire someone else to do the same job?

Any advice is much appreciated.

I hadn't thought of the NI for self employment MrA. Good spotting!
