A.  Yes.  Parents — and nannies — are absolutely allowed to draft their own nanny contract.  Before doing so, however, there are several key considerations.

Drafting a nanny contract takes time.  To do it well takes even more time.  For example, our experts took more than 30 hours researching, drafting, and asking parents and nannies about our nanny contract.   Drafting a nanny contract also involves attention to, and avoiding, the legal pitfalls of nanny care.  Lastly, drafting a nanny contract requires attention to plain, simple English that everyone understands.  For that reason, we recommend that parents purchase a good nanny contract.
