When you work as a nanny in the UK you have the same rights as any other employee. This means that the family you work for must pay tax and National Insurance contributions on your behalf. It also means that you have the right to paid holiday, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) amongst other benefits.

This section of the Nannytax website has been created with you – the nanny – in mind.
