[quote=webbkathy][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A nanny is definitely NOT an independent contractor. Calling her that doesn't make it so, sorry.

Many of the newborn nannies are ICs. That's a fact.[/quote]
They have many clients a year.[/quote]

I would add that NCS have other accoutrements of a business too. They present the family with a contract typically, set their own rates, contract for a specific duration of time, etc. Many of these specialists have business cards, maintain their own websites, and often work in informal networks with other NCS where if one is booked the hand the job over to another NCS to pursue the opportunity. They also typically collect a retainer or deposit for the family to reserve the time which is non-refundable. Some families handle this conservatively and treat the NCS as an employee, yet I believe [u]MOST[/u] situations a good case could be made for IC status if pressed. [i]The IRS is the ultimate arbitrator - not the family or the NCS[/i].

This is a very different situation from a regular nanny - even a summer nanny.
