s/o nanny and taxes

Anonymous
The nanny we want to hire wants to make $21 an hour after taxes, for one child 90% of the time and occasionally two kids. We’d have to pay about $28 an hour. Is this nuts for the DMV? Sounds like maybe it is...!??

God this again. You negotiate a gross market rate. They fill out a W4 and you withhold accordingly. Their taxes are their responsibility.

Either you pay her what she wants or find another nanny. It’s nuts that you think she should lower her rate for you.

It depends what you are looking for. English speaking, CPR certified, several years experience, childcare certifications, good driver etc. These things cost more.

I am not saying you need all these things to snuggle a baby but this is where the rates are variable.

And you’re nuts to think someone else is going to pay your taxes for you. This is wild, seriously.

It’s wild that you read something that wasn’t written.

Where does it say the nanny wants the employer to pay her taxes? She has a rate of what she wants to get paid after taxes. Op figured out it would be about $28/hr to get the nanny to that rate. What are you confused about?

Yes, that’s way above market.

You can probably find a grad student who would be interested.
