Nanny Agency JobsReview proposed dates and changed terms before treating a renewal as agreed.
Find the current agreement
Gather the signed agreement, amendments and the employer’s new proposal. Record the current end or review date, any stated renewal process, and who sent the new version. A discussion about next year is not automatically an accepted amendment. Whether a term renews without new signatures depends on the actual wording and applicable law; ask a qualified local adviser if that question matters to a decision.
Compare more than the rate
Make a side-by-side list of ordinary hours, child-care duties, extra household work, location, travel, pay basis, benefits, time off and notice terms. Mark each as unchanged, proposed change or unclear. Link to the work agreement review guide for the first-pass questions, but use the current signed version as the comparison baseline.
Ask who can approve a revision
If an agency coordinates the placement, identify whether the employer must approve the revised terms. Send a concise list of changes and questions rather than editing several versions in parallel. Keep a change log with the version date, who made the change and whether you accepted it. Silence or continued conversation should not be recorded as a confirmed term in your own notes.
Work through one concrete change
Fictional example: A family proposes another year at the same weekly pay but adds school pickups for a second child and occasional overnight travel. The nanny marks those as changed duties, asks for the proposed schedule and travel terms, and waits for a revised agreement before deciding. The example does not calculate a new rate or decide whether the prior agreement continues.
Close the decision
Read the full revised document, including sections that appear unchanged, before signing or otherwise accepting. Save the accepted version and tell the parties which date it takes effect. If the family has a new baby, the role plan can help map duties before renewal. If the proposal cannot be resolved, ask about the actual current agreement and next steps rather than assuming expiration or automatic continuation.
