Fair work, plainly stated

A useful care match starts with clear pay, hours and expectations.

Nanny Gigs asks for structured ranges so families and nannies can compare practical fit before sharing private details. The pilot supports introductions; it does not employ workers, run payroll or decide who gets hired.

Use a real pay range

Families provide the lowest and highest hourly rate they genuinely expect to pay. Nannies provide their preferred range. Neither is a promise until both parties agree.

Describe the working week

State the schedule pattern and realistic minimum and maximum weekly hours. Discuss overtime, cancellations, rest time and paid leave before care begins.

Keep decisions human

Structured fields help a moderator compare practical fit. They do not reject, rank out or determine anyone’s eligibility for work.

Before care begins

The household and caregiver should put the real terms in writing.

  • Hourly pay, expected weekly hours and when overtime applies
  • Regular schedule, start date, duties and work location
  • Paid time off, sick leave, cancellations and reimbursements
  • Payroll, tax, insurance and recordkeeping responsibilities
  • Emergency contacts and agreed safety expectations
