Starting an LLC to employ nanny

[Anonymous]

Has anyone started a personal LLC to hire their nanny through? We are looking into the different required insurances, etc and curious if anyone has done this. Thanks!

Why would this be necessary? Are you afraid of being sued?

Just covering our bases. Things can happen

We use GTM for taxes and yes I have business tax number.

Please pay on the books, best for the person you trust caring for your children.

Also in DC you need worker’s compensation.

You're probably doing this because you are doing something illegal like not paying OT or taxes.

There's a thread about it here that might be helpful:https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/8n21uu/inhome_nanny_set_up_as_an_llc/

Something I read also said it is illegal to add your nanny to your business (if you have one) as the law is very clear that the nanny contributes to your household, not your business.

Why does everyone assume something illegal is happening?

I worked for a very wealthy family that had one for the two nannies, housekeeper and chef. It was great because they could offer healthcare insurance and a retirement plan at a savings to them. I’m still very close to this family and, although they turned it down and didn’t need it, they could have filed for the stimulus small business loan/grant at the beginning of covid.

This is correct. Any basic google search will inform you that this can’t happen.

And probably wouldn't have gotten the money because most of it went corruptly to red states and to friends of the Trump family and Republican donors.

I can't wait for Trump to win again ! Ex-Dem here.

Soooo funny how some folks manage to blame their whole lives on some seated president.

It took me all of five seconds to find this. I hope you go to prison.
