Page 1 of the hiring guide: the order of work.

For parents hiring a nanny or a regular sitter. Most nanny binders start once the nanny is hired. This one starts with the hire.

What is in it

What it is not

It is not legal, tax or employment advice. The terms worksheet is a list of things to agree, not a contract. Pay, tax and employment rules for household employers differ by place, so the guide names them as things to check with your tax authority, labour department or an adviser. There is no medical consent form, because the form a doctor or hospital accepts varies; ask your paediatrician which one to use.

Tested in Word

The binder was opened and saved in Microsoft Word for Windows (version 16) on 26 September 2026. Google Docs, Pages and Word for Mac have not been tested. The hiring guide is a standard PDF in US Letter.

What you may do with it

One household may use and adapt the files for its own childcare and give copies to its nanny or sitter. No resale or redistribution of the blank files.

At a glance

The guide is a US Letter PDF: the job written down, interview questions with space for notes, a scoring sheet for up to three candidates, a reference-check script and record for two referees, a worksheet of terms to agree, a paid trial day and debrief, and a first-week plan. The binder is a Word document (.docx) to edit and print for the nanny: at a glance, contacts, a page for each child, a medication log, the house, the daily rhythm, outings and the car, pets, daily notes, and an hours and pay record. Opened and saved in Microsoft Word for Windows; Google Docs, Pages and Word for Mac have not been tested. Digital download; nothing is shipped. One household may use and adapt the files and give copies to its nanny or sitter; no resale or redistribution of the blank files. Not legal, tax or employment advice, and no medical consent form is included.
