[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just starting to wrap my head around the fact that I will need to hire a nanny in the coming months. I'm looking at discussions on salaries and wonder when people say they pay their nanny $X per hour, is that inclusive of all the extra stuff I'm going to have to pay? Like taxes, health insurance, etc? How much extra do I tack on for that? If anyone would like to tell me the range of what I can expect to pay out of pocket for a full-time live-out nanny for 6-month old twins in Arlington, I'd be more even more grateful. TIA![/quote]

OP, salary discussions assume a gross rate that you are paying.  The nanny will pay her own income taxes out of that.  You will have to pay employer taxes ON TOP of the gross rate.  Health insurance is up to you.  Overtime you will have to pay for all hours above 40 hr/week, BUT, as long as you guarantee a set amount of hours every week and you and your nanny come to an agreement for her weekly pay for these hours, there are ways to set the regular and overtime rates to meet that agreement (as long as your hours do not change).
