I have a weekly babysitter for 3 hours on Friday night and just pay her cash.

I work 5 hours a week. The babysitter comes twice per week for a few hours. I normally run an errand or go to the gym when I have the sitter. I do my actual PT job work in the evening or weekend when DH is home.

I think she is a babysitter.

I posted above and yes, with those hours she’s a babysitter and not a nanny. You could pay her cash.

$2100/52 weeks is $40.38 per week. If you pay more than that, you are legally liable for taxes.

We have an after school sitter who is on track to make about $1800K but we also have her do some evenings. We'll pay her more than $2100 this year. We take out taxes and do the whole thing - it's a pain, but it would be a bigger pain to have this come back to haunt us later when one of us wants to become a judge or run for office.

Venmo.

Sounds like you have a babysitter, OP. We do cash for sitters.

It doesn't matter what you think. If you pay her more than $2100 in a year, you both need to pay taxes.

The nanny is a full time employee and gets paid on the books, direct deposit.

When we hire little girls in the neighborhood to babysit, we pay cash.

Homepay Nanny payroll service for a full-time nanny. They deal with my employer taxes and withholdings If you're paying more than 2K or so each year, you're liable for employer taxes.

Sorry to get into this so quickly but it depends if you mean a nanny or a babysitter.

I pay my high school babysitter around $15 an hour to watch my kids for a date night. Just a few hours. No taxes.

By check, once a week. Don’t take taxes out per check, but pay both her and our portion of taxes yearly.

I work very part time and have a PT babysitter. Always paid Babysitters via check. No taxes taken out.
