[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't know what a professional career nanny is. She's not even paying her taxes! Troll, anyone?[/quote]

I do know what a professional career nanny is, thank you very much. I have always paid my taxes in past positions. My current employers asked me whether or not I wanted to claim my earnings in this position. I am engaged so don't have to worry about building my credit or having things in my name. Can you really blame me for wanting to bring home an extra $150 per week? [/quote]

Wow.  First, it IS a little ridiculous to claim that Nannies who don't pay their taxes (and employers who don't pay their share, either) are unprofessional.  This situation is (sadly) common.  But I couldn't resist the disturbing, tangential point that this Nanny thinks that, because she's engaged, she no longer needs to build credit or own things in her own name.  What a dangerous was of thinking:  You really should continue to worry about your ability to build credit ... marriages end for a lot of reason.  If you've made the decision to forego a legal arrangement so you can take home more money, so be it.  But I know plenty of people who have been burned when a marriage has ended (through death or divorce) and they've not given thought to what they've done to make sure they have good credit individually.  Just something to keep in mind as the years go by![/quote]
