[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that you should work from a gross that works with your family's budget, and find a nanny for whom that is acceptable.

Thank you for sharing.  This happens all the time. We agreed to $700/week net and learned the hard way that this was really about $975/week.  Not out of the norm for this area but a big shock.  I do find most nannies want an agreed upon net take home, however, so you have to make sure you have a good understanding of taxes.  [/quote]

It's really ignorant for employers to get into "net" discussions. Why do you engage in that nonsense? You're leaving your children with these people??[/quote]
I don't know any nanny --and I have been hiring nannies for over 10 years-- that does not want some guaranteed amount per week, hours, etc.  [/quote]

You still need to make your offer in gross wages. If she needs help figuring out net, you can ask her about her tax withholdings, and use a payroll calculator online to calculate/estimate her net wages, print it and give it to her.[/quote]
