[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if I’d frame it as her taking advantage of you. I think she was hasty in quitting and now that she has a baby, she realizes that it’s actually really freaking hard to juggle work and a baby!  Bless her heart. Welcome to motherhood.

She’s taking a shot here, hoping that you’ll pay extra because of your history together or because you have all this perceived extra money laying around and she feel entitled to it.

She’s definitely reaching. $34/hr is not justifiable. Plus she now has all the additional responsibilities that come with a newborn - appointments, time off for sick days, etc. - that only increase the burden on you when she’s unavailable.

If it were me, I’d pass all together or at a minimum I’d go back to the previously agreed rate. Being off the books is a benefit to her, not you. Sure you don’t have to pay the employer portion of FICA and stuff, but you also won’t be able to claim her on your taxes for the dependent care credit, plus you’re technically breaking the law.
