[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

My husband and I are new the nanny search process and have a few questions for anyone who used a nanny before:

-Pay: How did you determine what to pay your nanny?
Asked around what other parents were paying for their particular situation, also checked online like DCUM.  We had the same nanny for many years, so we wanted to set a salary that was competitive but that we could keep giving her raises annually without bankrupting ourselves.
-Background check: Did you conduct a background check? If yes, which company did you use?
No, but I hired someone with good references from a friend of a friend.
-Financial Program: Did you use a financial program to pay the nanny? or did you pay her or him directly via cash, check, or card?
Yes, MyHomePay/Breedlove, which we used because it handled all the nanny taxes. 
-Health Insurance: Did you cover the nanny's insurance? If yes, which company did you use?
No.
-Leave/PTO: Did you provide paid or unpaid leave?
Paid. 2 weeks (1 of their choice and 1 of our choice to start, accrued roughly 1.2 days per month, i.e. they couldn't use all 14 days within 1 month of starting). 
Typically we took more than 14 days off per year, so she got more.
Thanks in advance for answering my questions![/quote][/quote]
