[quote=ScarletIbis]OP,

Whether your nanny knew this from her prior job or not is not the issue here. You feel cheated after you accounted all the wages and taxes paid. If your contract is up for renewal or if your nanny is cooperative then you should sit down and try to negotiate a new contract that will allow you to be relieved of paying all your nanny's taxes. There are many families who voluntarily pay all taxes as an added benefit to retain their nanny. So this concept may seem legitimate to your nanny, and being so, she would probably be agitated that you now want to go back on your word.

This situation is difficult because you are doing something you are not required to do, but you did agree to it. It is similar to your nanny working for you for a year for $12/hr then all of a sudden demanding $17/hr. It is not a good situation, and will likely end with your nanny deciding to leave since you are in essence going to pay her less. Just be prepared for that.

You are within your rights to make this request, but just be prepared for replacement in case your nanny does not want, (or may not be able to afford) to net less than she is currently making.

Best of luck.[/quote]
