Built for this kind of work.
Create a straightforward record of childcare work without turning the timesheet into a child’s personal record. This nanny timesheet uses a family code and short session notes beside the shift times, making recurring hours and occasional schedule changes easy to review. Enter actual arrival and finish times, then record only breaks that should be deducted under the arrangement and relevant rules. Avoid children’s names, health details, pickup codes and home access information in a shared sheet. If an overnight or extended booking crosses a date boundary, use clear dated intervals. Review the record with the family before using it for payment discussions.
What’s in the template
The blank form includes 14 entry rows and space to identify the person or team, reporting period and reviewer. Add rows in the editable files when your reporting period needs more detail.
How to use it
- Enter the caregiver and a non-sensitive family code.
- Record actual start and finish times for each session.
- Enter reviewed unpaid breaks and brief scheduling notes.
- Check extended or overnight sessions with the family.
Keep the record useful
- Do not include children’s private information.
- Do not assume sleeping time is an unpaid break.
- Keep reimbursements in a separate expense record.
These are recordkeeping tools, not payroll or legal advice. Confirm your own break, overtime, approval and billing rules. Do not include patient details, children's personal information or other sensitive information in general work notes.
Using it in Google Sheets
Download the Excel file, upload it to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. Check the imported formulas and time formats with a sample entry before relying on totals. For shared teams, set access deliberately and keep a clean master copy.
