[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]A  What should the rate be for caring for 1 infant full time?

[b]12 - 18, depending on what the family has chosen to budget for childcare and it also depends on how much they value what you bring to the table.. Don't forget that even at $12/hour, OT rates after 40 hours add up quickly. :-)[/b]

B 1 infant part time?

[b]IMO, PT work should pay a higher hourly rate, so $14/hour and up.[/b]

C   One infant and one older child

[b]$13 - $19/hour[/b]

D  Full time nanny infant nanny share

[b]$20 - $24/hour. Each family wants to save money versus what they'd pay for a nanny solo. So, if they would be willing to pay $15/hour solo, $10/hour in a share is logical to me.[/b]

E  full time toddler share

[b]About the same as above.[/b]

F  Should parents pay "all of the tax" besides the "Nanny tax"
How many nannies get money paid into Unemployment and Disability

[b]No sure what you mean by "all of the tax". The employers are legally obligated to pay SS/Med. Most will also take out Fed/State/Local income taxes if nanny asks. I don't think many people are going to offer you a NET wage and then cover your share of all taxes for you. Paying into unemployment, etc. is part of what employers have to do to be legal.[/b]

G  How long do you have to work full time in order to be able to use Unemployment or Disability?

[b]No idea.[/b]

I  Why are so many families not paying the state and federal taxes if they are the employers?  (Some are, but seems like few)

[b]IMO, there are several reasons: Nannies are willing to be tax cheats. Parents are willing to be tax cheats. No one actually ENFORCES the laws on the books about paying household staff legally, so there is no "fear factor" for parents. If some nice upper-middle/upper class folks got busted for paying under the table, and the penalties were harsh, I bet more employers would INSIST on paying legally.[/b][/quote][/quote]
