[quote=nannydebsays]Additional expenses include about a 10% cost for paying on the books, which includes your share of employment taxes and the cost of a nanny tax company's services. Mileage should not be a huge deal, unless it's a 30 mile drive round trip to music class any everything else. I think for a 3 month old, 2 brief outings a week is plenty, and for a 9 month old, a class, a play date, and a visit to somewhere new and exciting is plenty as well, IMO. A nanny is the most expensive form of childcare. If you can't afford one, you could seek out a SAHM with a child the same age as yours, or look for a family daycare. Or see if there are 2 college students who could cover your needed hours between them - Nursing, Education, and Social Science majors might be the most interested. Or, as a PP said, maybe a nanny with her own baby would be a good choice. You could offer a few dollars less per hour. And if the retention bonus is too much financially, offer to help nanny find a new job when you no longer need her, and offer non-financial benefits if you can think of something that appeals to your choice candidate.[/quote]
