[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these some of the nannies who can file as independant contractors if they qualify?[/quote]

It depends on the job they do, not on the certification. 99% of the time, what we call a nanny job on this board would not be an indendant contractor position. But there are positions where a newborn nanny might come in for a short period of time, set her own hours and rates, and totally manage care of the newborn. (Like respite care, or a sleep trainer) In those cases, they might qualify as an IC[/quote]

It depends on if they control HOW they do their job. Do they depend on parental directions or do they come in knowing HOW to perform their job? Lots of other questions to, but that's the main one.[/quote]

That is not what makes an IC. Coming in with knowledge of how to do the job doesn't make you an IC. Lets say you hire a painter. He sets his rates, he tells you when he is available to come, and you hire him within the hours he sets. You may tell him what room to paint, but he will paint it his way, in his own time, and with his own supplies. He is clearly not your employee, and would be an IC. A nanny on the other hand applies for a job that the employer crafts. The employer decides when and where care will take place, how it will be done, how much it pays, etc. and they can tweak these details at any time. The employer is responsible for providing all necessary materials. The nanny follows the direction of the employer, no matter how knowledgeable she is, or how hands off her employer is. She is still an employee. With a newborn care specialist, it could go either way, depending on the set up of the job. [/quote]
