Nannies & Caretakers: Protect Your Income After Disruption
Have you lost your childcare or caretaking income because families have relocated or homes are uninhabitable due to property damage?
You may have options to recover lost wages when property damage disrupts your childcare or caretaking work. Our attorneys can guide you through the legal process.
Understanding Income Loss for Childcare Workers
As a nanny or caretaker, your income depends on providing consistent care in your clients' homes. When property damage forces families to relocate or renders homes uninhabitable, you can suddenly find yourself without income through no fault of your own. Many caregivers aren't aware of their rights to compensation after such disruptions.
The Unique Challenges for Domestic Caretakers
Unlike traditional employees, nannies and caretakers often work with flexible arrangements or informal agreements, making it particularly challenging to recover lost income. Our legal team understands these complex situations and can help identify potential avenues for financial recovery.

Beyond legal remedies, we can help identify emergency aid programs specifically for caregivers in your situation.
Special Considerations for Childcare Workers
Nannies and caretakers face unique challenges when seeking compensation after work disruptions:
- Complex employment relationships that may blur the lines between employee and independent contractor status
- Inconsistent schedules that can make income loss calculations challenging
- Multiple employers requiring coordination of several partial income loss claims
- Long-term disruption if families permanently relocate after property damage incidents
Our attorneys are sensitive to these issues and will work with you to overcome these obstacles. We understand the unique nature of caretaking work and can effectively advocate for your needs.
