Nanny Invoice Template

Nannies are paid by the hour, but the week rarely runs exactly to plan. Regular hours, overtime, mileage and reimbursed outings each have a line here, with the dates covered at the top. Families get a clear record for payday, and you get a consistent way to track every hour.

Free. Edit online and download as a PDF.

Every hour of care, clearly recorded.

What to include on a nanny invoice

  • Dates and hours worked

    List each day or week with start and end times. Families and payroll services both work from these numbers.

  • Overtime at the agreed rate

    Show regular and overtime hours on separate lines, with the overtime rate. Overtime for household workers is governed by federal and state law, so confirm what applies.

  • Mileage and reimbursements

    Driving the children in your own car, outings and supplies you paid for belong on separate lines from wages, with receipts.

  • Guaranteed hours and paid time off

    If your agreement guarantees weekly hours or paid holidays, show them even in weeks the family didn't need you. It keeps pay steady and matches what you both signed.

Billing tips for nannies.

  • Put a work agreement in place first

    Agree on the rate, overtime, guaranteed hours, holidays and sick days in writing before you start. The invoice then just applies what you've both signed.

  • Track hours every day

    Write down start and end times daily, or keep a shared timesheet. It settles questions about late pickups and early starts before payday.

  • Bill nanny shares per family

    When you care for children from two families together, send each family its own invoice with its share of the hours and costs.

Nanny invoicing, answered.

Is a nanny an employee or a contractor?

In many situations a nanny is a household employee of the family, which can give the family payroll tax and reporting responsibilities. An invoice is a useful record of hours and pay, but it doesn't decide that question. Families should check IRS guidance or talk to a household payroll service.

How should nannies track hours for an invoice?

Keep a daily log of start and end times, then total regular and overtime hours for each week. The free timesheet generator makes a clean record to share with the family.

Can I charge for babysitting outside regular hours?

Yes. Date nights, overnights and weekend care are often billed at a separate rate. Extra hours for the same family may still count toward weekly overtime, so check the rules that apply.
