[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After months of searching, we finally found a great nanny candidate for our baby. [b]She wants to be paid off the books [/b]and work about 30 hour weeks. My husband thinks this should operate essentially as an hourly job, and while she will receive paid time off and an insurance stipend, he doesn't want to pay for services we aren't using if we go out of town. We don't travel that much, and furthermore paying year-round is just part of hiring a professional IMO. I think he has sticker shock as this is the top of our budget for childcare but [b]I'm not aware of how any other arrangement would work or how to even broach the subject with her.[/b]

Any insights from those who have BTDT? How can I convince him paying during vacation sense given the circumstances?[/quote]

You tell her you pay legal. She will get social security, workers comp etc. We have an accounting office do the weekly payroll.  Maryland law allows payment to come via direct deposit to her bank or by check and she decides which way she wants her compensation.

I've never had anyone not take the job when we tell them we will be paying legal. Some of them want cash but we don't pay that way. No one has ever refused our employment when we tell them we pay legal.[/quote]
