the right choices start with the
right information
Parents and nannies,
don't fall victim to "I wish I'd known that before..." syndrome.
The best time to learn about industry-specific language, legal requirements, industry standards, and how it all works together is before you hire or accept a job. (If you missed that window, don’t worry. It’s never too late.) This class offers expertly curated content that will help you understand the terms and issues within the employment relationship and nanny contract so you’re able to make informed decisions around what you need, want, and are comfortable agreeing to.

Why this class?
Lora Brawley here. Founder of Nanny Care Hub and creator of the popular A to Z Nanny Contract. I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years and I’ve spent that time steeped in the ins and outs of the nanny employment relationship; providing practical resources and advice to parents and nannies around long-term success. Too often I see employers and caregivers struggle with their search and employment terms because they don’t have the basic knowledge needed to make the best decisions for themselves. Not because they’re happily ignorant, but because we’re an unregulated industry where there’s too much incomplete, inaccurate, or irrelevant information and not enough expert, comprehensive, consolidated information. I hope this class helps fill that gap a bit.
