She says that if this does not work out to $15 per hour (for take home) after the first pay check she will want a raise and back pay. This puts us in a tough spot since the accountant can't know until she fills out the forms. I just want to offer her pay and be done with it. If someone else is offering her $15 per hr under the table then so be it.
There are benefits to her to be paid legally as well. I don't want to lose a good nanny, but the job is the job and the pay is the pay. Why isn't she just asking for more money per hr?

I wouldn't tolerate that OP. I would take this kind of response as an early warning sign and my response would be "I really don't think this will work then. Good luck to you."
If a candidate for a job is talking with you this I would fully expect you to have significant troubles down the line. Go find someone else for whom $18/hr, paid legally, is viewed as a great job.
18:34 here. I don't understand how you wouldn't know. I fill out paperwork my first day (or before); I'm not going to wait to know what the take home is. As I said, my contracts all state gross and net, that way there's no confusion.
