[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.

The only thing I would add is to consider what you want to do if a candidate asks to be paid out the health care stipend. In our experience, most candidates wanted the cash instead of the stipend. I really struggled with this, but in the end it really felt too paternalistic to insist we would only pay it as health care. I think either decision is fine, but I can almost guarentee it will come up.[/quote]

PP, what do you mean "cash instead of the stipend"? Stipends are cash (or check) payments by definition...

OP, this would be an excellent and very attractive job for experienced and qualified candidates, you don't need to "settle" at all so definitely be very thorough in your hiring process. There is no problem with your nanny having care of all 3 children at any time and you don't need to offer any additional pay or compensation for that.[/quote]

PP here. I guess I put that badly. I meant, many of our candidates asked if they could have the health care allowance as part of their salary rather than using it for health insurance. We agreed to give them somewhat less, as the amount was now subject to FICA.

It might be considered short sited by many, and it's certainly not anything unique to nannies, but I can almost guarentee some applicants will ask, so I'd just think about how you feel about the answer.[/quote]
