In the wake of Nannygate, chronicled in the press and on TV, parents considering hiring an in-home childcare provider are justifiably nervous both about complying with the law and assuring a safe and comfortable environment for their child. This brief guide lays out the process, from writing a job description to salary and employment conditions. Drawing from her own experience as a working mother, Pelletier outlines the costs of in-home childcare, from setting wages and complying with the law to agreeing on vacation, holidays, and sick leave. Included are forms, outlines, and letters for placing ads, conducting phone interviews, and writing employment applications and work agreements. The section on managing the nanny gives useful guidelines for communication. This guide will help prepare parents for their new role as employers.
