You need to list your nanny as a personal/administrative position, make sure she does do some duties that are administrative. If you go this route then yes and it can benefit your nanny as well especially in giving her health insurance benefits. You are going to get allot of snarky comments against this but yes you can do it.

No. A domestic employee is not a business employee! Is there no end to the ways you try to cheat your nanny? Truly disgusting.

Doing this does not cheat a nanny, in fact there can be some real benefits to it, one of my best positions I was set up as an employee for my boss's company and got all the benefits. Many nannies do things that can assist in the business.

Not legal unless nanny works at your husbands office on site, and no in case you try the next thing, you can't 1099 a nanny either! A NANNY IS A HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYEE

If the nanny is listed as a salaried employee (also,illeglal) then you do not have to pay OT. in any case, it is illegal.

I did a lot for the business(payroll, client retention,etc). The mom (owner) had PPD. The employees knew to contact me if they needed anything. I was compensated well plus OT as I was still hourly. The benefits outweighed the negatives for sure. I was very happy in that position.

Can definitely run a household employee on the business payroll of a sole proprietorship but the wages are NOT deductible for the business. Major payroll providers can handle the situation.

Both of those just sound like ads. "No, super illegal, hire us to help you not do illegal things!"

This was my situation at my last nanny job. On my check it would say "Piece work" next to my hours.
