Day-to-day operating brief

What Temporary Nanny (Agency) work looks like in practice

A Temporary Agency Nanny provides short-notice or fixed-period childcare across different households. Terms should identify the employing agency, placement acceptance, families and children, travel area, minimum bookings, cancellations, family instructions, health and allergy information, car use, home access, confidentiality between clients, safeguarding, expenses and placement handovers. Flexibility must not imply continuous availability or authority to accept private work outside the agency.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Accept and attend agreed placements.
Learn family routines and child instructions.
Provide authorised care meals and activities.
Protect client privacy and home security.
Record hours expenses incidents and handovers.
