Ending the contract shared childcare contract

Unlike a work contract with a "private" nanny, the end one of the two shared childcare contracts inevitably involves altering the remaining one. In many cases, the result for the remaining family is that they unable to manage the cost a nanny alone.. 

 Indeed, the contractual terms will change only because one of the two families is withdrawing. Schedules, work places but above all, the salary will be substantially impacted.

The end of the childcare agreement of the two families

This is the simplest and happens often to families who have children of similar ages. The children enter school and both families have less need for childcare.
Equally it can happen that a disagreement between families may lead to an end of the childcare agreement.

Interdependence: when one family withdraws from the contract

How it works:
Whatever the reason for the withdrawal of the first family, the terms of the contract are required to be changed by the second family or they to can withdraw from the contract.

They must act quickly, as soon as the nanny receives the dismissal letter, by sending a letter explaining the reason and the changes desired to apply the family, (hours, wages ...). The second family will still be required to pay the nanny at least the provincial minimum wage.

It is then up to the nanny to decide if she will accept this offer since it may mean reduced hours and reduced salary. 

• If the employee accepts: an amendment containing the new contract terms must be drafted and signed by both parties. It comes into effect immediately after the first family's contract ends.
• If the employee refuses the new contract terms: the parent employer is obliged to dismiss the nanny with reasonable notice.
