    For Families Searching a Nanny Only:

    Will you offer PTO and/or paid vacation?

    If so, how many days?

    It is common to offer two (2) weeks paid vacation to your Nanny (with one week coinciding with your family's scheduled vacation).

    Will you sign a contractual agreement with the Nanny?

    Would you like to be connected to an expert and receive support in Nanny Payroll?

    Are you willing to pay Nanny Taxes?

    How serious and committed are you to your Nanny search? (on a scale from 1-5)

    California Nanny Labor Laws:

    • A Nanny is always a household employee.
    • California labor law does not allow a Nanny to be paid a fixed salary. Every Nanny should be paid hourly!
    • California  labor law determined that a live-out Nanny should be paid 1,5 times the regular rate (time-and-a-half) for all hours worked over 9 daily or over 40 weekly. A live-in Nanny should be paid 1,5 times the regular rate (time-and-a-half) for all hours worked over 9 daily or over 45 weekly.
    • Paid Sick Leave (PSL) is a permanent labor law in California that requires employers (you!) to provide at least 40 hours annually of Paid Sick Leave each year to their employee (Nanny). Several cities have local city laws that slightly alter the state law; and are more generous.
    • If a Nanny is required to drive her own vehicle during work hours, she is entitled to receive the federal mileage reimbursement of 67ct per mile.

    Notes:

    • A Nanny’s pay day should never be delayed.
    • Just like any other profession, a Nanny should be paid 52 weeks a year, even if you go on a vacation (guaranteed pay). 
    • If you require the Nanny to drive with your child/children, a car seat should be provided. Best and safest is to install any carseat by a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST).
