Tax and National Insurance
When you employ a Nanny or Mother’s Help you take on the responsibility of becoming their employer – and are therefore responsible for the payment of the Nanny’s tax and national insurance.
We can provide you with an introduction to a company we've found to be both competitive and highly competent.
Public and Employer's Liability Insurance
As the Nanny’s employer, it is important the family checks that their insurer protects them against possible claims made by their nanny, e.g. should they suffer a personal injury. Public Liability Insurance covers this eventuality, and it should be added if it is not covered by the family’s home insurance.
