[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay ours $750/week and she works between 40 and 50 hours a week (40 during normal school weeks and 50 if kids aren't at school) and have the same amenities (separate apartment), utilities etc included. She's American, experienced and educated.

Before anyone above gets excited, we have it in our contract as $15/hour for 50 hours a week (though we often don't use all of those hours), and time and a half does not apply to live-in employees in DC. I believe that it does in MD. (I have sought legal advice on this and do my nanny's taxes through HomeWorkSolutions who have provided the same advice). [/quote]

OP: Thanks for the insight and for the tip towards HomeWorkSolutions. I've looked at them at a similar service through Care.com, do you find it to be worthwhile and valuable?

Yes, HomeWorkSolutions is really easy to use and not too expensive. I saw the care.com service but HomeWorkSolutions is a local company and offer a more personalized service, which I found helpful when I was setting it all up. I would certainly recommend using a company to do all the taxes. It's not super complicated but it is quite a bit of admin and it's not something I wanted to worry about or get wrong - either for my sake or the nanny's.
