[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, part of the reason you’re paying higher is because it’s part time, which always increases the rate; it sounds the rate is $23-25 for full time, so assume $24-26 for part time.  Now, with everyone and their sister wanting a nanny due to distance learning and covid, rates are higher.  If you intend to ask a nanny to limit outside interaction to limit covid risk, $26-28 (gross) would be what I’d expect.[/quote]

This makes sense. We had hoped for $25 or less. I don’t mind bumping up to $26~. But I was playing around with tax calculators and we’d have to pay over $30/hour to make the take home pay match what a person would bring home with cash payments, which is a huge price jump.[/quote]

It’s not your responsibility to calculate net.  You have no idea what a nanny’s tax situation is.  Your responsibility is to advertise a gross rate, guarantee hours, and file legally.  Once you hire someone, file the I-9 and have the nanny do the W-4.[/quote]
