    I'd include something in there about use of vehicles too if she has to drive your kids anywhere. Especially with the cost of fuel etc so you may have to include a fuel allowance or something.

    I'd probably use the ATO allowance for vehicles, which is dependent on the size of the vehicle and the kms travelled. I would get them to keep a log book.

    I'd also look into the legal requirements for tax etc. Do you have to withhold or are you paying them as a company and they looking after their own tax etc.

    Also public liability insurance for wherever they are looking after the child, if it is in your own home, you get it, if it is their home, they should have it. Actually all households should have this regardless, to cover themselves if somebody injures themselves in your home (eg an electrician tripping over something in your home and injuring themselves).
