Expertise

Lora Brawley here, creator of the A to Z Nanny Contract, the trusted benchmark for nanny and family assisting contracts.  With over 30 years in the in-home industry and 20 years developing and negotiating work agreements, I specialize in translating complex household employment lingo, standards, and laws into clear, detailed, and practical contract language that works for both employers and employees.

Employing or working as a nanny or family assistant is very different from other types of work. There are lesser-known laws that apply specifically to household workers, well-known laws that don’t, and many tax and employment issues that often catch both employers and professionals by surprise. With so much misinformation out there, it’s easy to get lost, and costly mistakes can happen. While I’m not a tax or legal professional (official disclaimer!), I am a trusted, experienced guide who helps you navigate the unique issues of creating a nanny or family assistant contract.

For over 20 years, the A to Z Nanny Contract has helped thousands of parents and nannies create clear, fair, and balanced employment agreements.  Widely recommended in the nanny community, it has become the benchmark for nanny contracts.

The A to Z Nanny Contract comes with an MS Word template that makes it quick and easy to create a custom contract tailored to your unique situation. I don’t take the typical ‘you fill in all the details’ approach that other contracts do, those details can be confusing and time-consuming, and isn’t avoiding that work the reason you want a template in the first place? Instead, I outline all the issues you should consider and provide exact language for each option within those issues. You simply choose the one that works best for you and delete the rest.

Every A to Z Nanny Contract includes a comprehensive guidebook that walks you through each employment issue. Learn industry standards, best practices, and insider tips for avoiding pitfalls and building a strong parent-nanny relationship. As one client put it, “It’s like having Lora at the table, guiding every choice as I develop our nanny contract.”

Hiring and retaining a great nanny or family assistant can feel like navigating a maze full of hidden pitfalls. The A to Z Nanny Contract is your step-by-step guide through the nanny hiring and employment process, helping you identify key issues, avoid common mistakes, and make decisions with confidence. It’s designed to save you time, money, and stress, while strengthening the parent-professional relationship from day one.

It’s not enough to simply include a general agreement about an issue in your contract (e.g., the nanny gets 2 weeks of paid vacation).  It’s essential the issue be detailed in a way that answers all the “what if” questions that may come up and leaves no room for misinterpretation.  This is where the A to Z Nanny Contract excels.  Working in a private home rather than a business means there are a lot more variables and non-traditional approaches to employment issues, so the standard HR language simply doesn’t work.  The A to Z Nanny Contract gives you the user-friendly, nannyese you need.

After purchase, your A to Z Nanny Contract guidebook and template are instantly available for download. You’ll also receive an email with a download link, so you can start customizing your contract immediately. (Check your spam folder, just in case it gets filtered.)

If you have a quick question about customizing your contract, I’m just a phone call or email away. I provide practical, real-world guidance to help you get your template just right, no hidden fees and no digging through FAQs. Need a Do-It-For-Me custom contract or in-depth contract coaching? I offer both.
