Petra's on her fifth au pair and still hasn't had to learn how to run payroll herself, because she's never needed to. That's kind of the idea.⁠

If you're hosting an au pair and dreading the admin side of it, this is your sign to hand it over to Pay the Nanny 🙌🏼

Hosting an au pair in NZ this season? It's an exciting time, but there's a bit to sort before they land on your doorstep.⁠
⁠
Getting the pay right, agreeing on board and lodging, putting it all in writing, and running it through proper payroll rather than cash in hand. Get these sorted early and the rest of the arrangement tends to run a lot more smoothly.⁠

Coffee: survival fuel. Screen time: earns its keep. You: surviving, not failing. 🙌⁠
⁠
Save this one for the next rainy day, movie marathon or 'just a mum and her bag of snacks' moment. School holidays are a marathon, not a sprint, go pour that coffee.⁠

How are you surviving these holidays? ⁠

Spring marks the start of peak au pair season here in NZ, and we're already hearing from host families getting ready to welcome someone new into their home.✨️⁠
⁠
First time hosting? You might not realise you become an employer the moment they start, same obligations as hiring a nanny. We take care of the payroll side so you can focus on the good part.⁠
⁠
New to hosting? Send us a message, we're happy to walk you through it 🖤⁠

Casual or permanent nanny? Here's the quick version 👇⁠
⁠
Casual: no promise of ongoing work, higher hourly rate through casual loading, no paid leave.⁠
⁠
Permanent: set days each week, paid annual and sick leave, lower hourly rate because the leave is funded separately.⁠
⁠
The deciding factor isn't hours worked, it's whether there's a firm expectation the role will continue. Get the classification wrong and backpay, super shortfalls and unpaid leave can catch up with you fast.⁠
⁠
Not sure which one fits your family? That's exactly what we're here for.⁠

Nanny red flags? Spot them before you sign anything. 🚩⁠
⁠
The good ones are upfront about availability, pay, references, all of it, no dodging. The dodgy ones? Vague on hours, "we'll sort a contract later," and suddenly go quiet the second pay comes up.⁠
⁠
Trust your gut, but back it up with the paperwork.⁠
