Travel & Freelance Nanny Contract Template

£199.00 inc. VAT

Designed for Professional Nannies Working with UHNW Families, Travel Roles & Superyacht Positions

This professional nanny contract template has been created to help freelance and travel nannies protect their time, income, and professional boundaries.

Developed by Superyacht Nanny founder Ella Peters and her legal team, alongside consulting industry professionals, the template draws on more than a decade of experience working with UHNW families, international travel roles and superyacht environments.

It provides a clear, structured agreement that helps both nanny and client understand expectations from the outset.

It helps you:

• Set clear expectations around hours, duties and responsibilities
• Ensure travel time and overnight stays are paid appropriately
• Protect yourself from last-minute cancellations
• Avoid late or missing payments
• Define expenses and travel costs clearly

Why This Template Is Different

Many nanny contracts are designed for permanent household employment.

They often don’t address the realities of:

• short-term bookings
• international travel
• temporary roles
• UHNW household expectations
• superyacht placements

This contract has been developed specifically with freelance, travel and luxury household environments in mind.

It reflects the realities of modern nanny work where roles are often fast-paced, international and complex.

Who This Is For

This template is ideal for:

• Freelance nannies
• Travel nannies
• Superyacht nannies
• Temporary placement nannies
• Self-employed childcare professionals

If you regularly work on short-term bookings or international travel roles, this contract will help you establish clearer and more professional agreements with your clients.

Easy to Use

The contract is provided as an editable Microsoft Word template so you can easily adapt it for each booking.

Simply:

  1. Insert your details

  2. Adjust any clauses to reflect the role

  3. Send to the client before the booking begins

It can be reused across multiple bookings.
