[quote=Anonymous]My friend and I are going to be doing a nanny share with our infants at my house beginning this fall.  The nanny will be coming 3 days per week, and will have both infants on 2 days and just my daughter on one day.  The hours will be the same when it is 2 kids as it will be when it is just one.  Do you think because of this situation we can offer the nanny a weekly rate instead of a per hour rate?  For instance, instead of saying "we will pay $20 when there is two infants, and $16 for when there is just one" we can just say "we are paying you $300 per week" (I just made up those numbers, as examples).  I do not think I need to pay the nanny the same rate for 2 kids as I do one.

Also, since we are paying the nanny more because she will be with our daughter 3 days, we were going to have our friend pay us for her share and then have us pay the nanny the weekly rate.  We would like to offer the nanny the option of us taking the taxes out of her pay but are confused as to handle the tax situation if the money is coming from two sources.  I wanted to see if anyone had any experiences with this before I called my accountant to ask and he charges me $50 for a phone call.

Thanks![/quote]
