Annie's Nannies is a trade name owned by Florence Nightingale Childcare Ltd. Any reference in these terms and conditions to "Annie's Nannies" or "the Agency" refers to the legal entity Florence Nightingale Childcare Ltd.

1. The Agency agrees to ensure that your baby sitter:
   • has a current First-aid certificate,
   • has a full/clean NZ. Driver's License,
   • has childcare experience (in addition to babysitting experience),
   • provides quality care for your children, including entertaining, meals, bed & bath routines and
   • ensures that your child/rens' routines and your instructions are adhered to.
2. You agree to:
   • provide a safe/secure environment for the babysitter,
   • provide a smoke free environment for the babysitter,
   • provide tea & coffee making facilities for the babysitter,
   • pay all monies owed (including the Agency Fee) in full to the babysitter that evening and
   • sign these Terms & Conditions.
3. Employment of a babysitter through Annie's Nannies Babysitter and Babysitting Agency constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
4. If the employer cancels the services of a babysitter less than 24 hours before the booked babysitting session, the Agency Fee of $20 still applies.
5. Annie's Nannies Babysitter and Babysitting Agency ("the Agency") has used its best endeavours, in reviewing the babysitter's references, qualifications, training, experience and information disclosed by the babysitter and/or referees, to select a babysitter suitable for your needs as advised by you. If, for any reason, your babysitter proves unsuitable or unsatisfactory for you, or the employment of the babysitter is terminated due to the babysitter becoming ill or terminating her/his employment, the Agency will use its best endeavours to provide a suitable replacement babysitter.
6. The Agency Fee is non-refundable and is paid for procuring the babysitter. All payments are to be made directly to the baby sitter at the conclusion of the session. Any shortfalls in payments shall be invoiced to you and overdue accounts will attract penalty interest of 2% per month. Where overdue accounts are referred to a collection agency the account will incur additional collection costs which you agree to pay.
7. The Agency acts as agent for you and is not an employer of babysitters. The Agency's role is to procure suitable placements, bearing in mind the information and requirements supplied by you and the availability of suitable babysitters.
8. The agency accepts no liability or responsibility for any injury, loss mishap, accident or illness suffered by you or any other person as a result of the employment of the babysitter and you agree to indemnify the Agency should any action be taken against the Agency as a result of your employment of the babysitter. In the event that you, notwithstanding this clause, endeavour to issue proceedings and are successful against the agency, then the quantum of damages shall be limited to TEN DOLLARS ($10.00).
