[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have never paid a nanny for health insurance.

We pay our nanny an after-tax rate of $16/hour, two weeks paid vacation or leave to be used as desired by her, plus pay for every week we take a vacation (with no work required by her during our vacations).  Our nanny also receives a $40/week gas stipend for driving her own car.

In the past, we have paid for a new HVAC system for the nanny, paid her medical bills when the nanny injured herself, and paid for repairs to the nanny's car.[/quote]
What's her before tax wage (that's how you quote someone's wage)?
So your nanny has no health insurance? What will you do next year when she'll be required to have it?[/quote]

Why do you assume PP's nanny has no health insurance? There are a lot of nannies who pay for their own health insurance

I have been a nanny for almost 13 years, and I have always had health insurance. The policies have always been chosen by me, and either fully funded by me with my net wages or partially paid for by my employers (just depended on the family). I did have one family who covered my full monthly premium after one year of employment with them. It is very possible for nannies to obtain a private health insurance policy without employer contribution. Having an employer contribute or cover health insurance premiums is a wonderful benefit, but it's not a requirement for families who want to employ a nanny.

Once we reach the point that everyone has to have health insurance the nanny will have to either make sure she has her own policy or pay the penalty at tax time. Nanny employers are not required to provide or contribute to a health care plan b/c they do not have the required number of employees. [/quote]
