[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I wouldn't work so few hours unless it was cash. Just being honest.

I love how MBs get all the vitriol from the resident nanny crusaders for not paying legally, yet when you get someone who insists on paying legally, she's being subjected to a weird requirement that it has to be all cash, or that she has to offer enough hours to make it worth the nanny's while to pay taxes. Hypocrisy unleashed.[/quote]

So true. The nannies here are awful.[/quote]

I wouldn't have a problem with that income being taxed, all that I have said is that OP is competing with mostly cash offers, and if she offers the same dollar amount she will not be competitive. These are simply facts of the market you all love to worship. If you're paying me $15/hour pretax, I'm taking home $11-$13/hour. Sorry that I'm not interested in giving up my Saturday night for 30 bucks. If a family wanted a sitting job to be above board, which I see no fault in, they'd have to be competitive about it. That means paying closer to $18-$20/hour, and offering a minimum number of hours (3 or 4).[/quote]
