Question: In this assignment you will be drafting at least a 2 page (minimum) contract as someone that is interested in hiring a Nanny. You have four children (Joey, age 12, Tyler age 8, Sean age 3 and Martha age 1) and need someone to care for them while you are away at work during the day between 9am and 5pm.
The Nanny will receive a salary of $40,000/year and health insurance benefits. This is full-time employment and the Nanny is expected to work 8 hours a day. The Nanny will also have a three month probationary period, after which will begin a one year term of employment. You would like an option to renew the contract after the probationary period for an additional year with the same terms. After the renewal year, the parties will be free to renegotiate the contract.

In this assignment, you are to assume that this position has already been advertised, and that a Nanny named Nancy Caresalot has interviewed and you selected her for this position. You sent Nancy an email explaining the offer and she responded with the following email:
Thank you so much for your offer of employment. I find the position in terms of the employment very enticing. However, I would like to request the following also be included in the contract.
Question 1. In the event of a dispute, I would like us to attempt to resolve the dispute by private negotiation. If that fails, I would like us to try mediation and only after negotiation and mediation fails, would we resort to arbitration. Dispute would not be resolved by litigation.
Question 2. Although this contract is for a stated term, I would like the opportunity to terminate the contract upon four weeks notice. For the sake of fairness, I would be fine with you having the same right to terminate me with four weeks notice.
Question 3. I would like the 1 year renewal option portion of the contract to include an automatic increase in compensation of 10%.
Question 4. Finally, I would like to have a two week paid vacation provided in each year of my employment.
You have no issues with Nancy's terms and emailed her to let her know that you will add these items to the contract.
Now, draft a 1 page (minimum) contract that details all of the above terms to send to Nancy.
Please submit this assignment as a Word document. The contract may be single spaced. You should clearly number or letter all paragraphs in the contract that discuss the different terms, include proper names of all parties, clearly state your expectations for her job role (for example---cooking/cleaning/caring for pets/getting kids off to school/packing lunches/how to care for the little ones during the day that don''t go to school/etc.), as well as signature and date lines.

When it comes to drafting contract, don''t forget to include specifics.

Don''t forget that it is ok to start with an example contract, but you need to make it your own. Expand on the terms, examine potential pitfalls and make provisions for them, as well as examine your own state law to see what types of issues you need to incorporate. ex) Breaks, insurance, taxes, etc.
