That's why self-employed people have higher rates. They're stupid if they don't.
According to the IRS and other portions of the government, a nanny can't be self-employed.
Questions to determine employment:
1. Who sets the days/times worked? If it's the person working, they might be self-employed, if not, they aren't.
2. Who provides the supplies used? If it's the person working, they might be self-employed, if not, they aren't.
3. Can the person scheduled to work select and send in a replacement without notifying the person who hired them? If it's the person working, they might be self-employed, if not, they aren't.
Usually this discussion is for housekeepers, but it works for any household employee. Very few household employees are self-employed. Of the ones that are, they are usually housekeepers who work a set number of hours for each person whenever it works in the housekeeper's schedule, they have the ability to send a partner to clean the house if they aren't free, and they bring their own appliances and cleaning supplies. The other example used is usually of a maintenance or home repair person, and the same questions apply.
Rates for work are individual to each person. Some self-employed people undervalue themselves and/or are unwilling to negotiate higher wages, while some domestic employees who receive a W-2 value themselves appropriately and negotiate for what they think are appropriate wages and benefits.
I'm a nanny and I'm self employed, so there goes your argument!
Different poster here. I do know quite a few INA nanny members who are legally self-employed. While it's true that most aren't, that does not mean that some nannies can't be legally self-employed.
To the poster who keeps saying nannies "can't" be self-employed, please just stop. You are 100% wrong.
Again, according to the IRS, unless you can answer the questions in ways that make you independent, you are a domestic employee. I asked because I wanted to be clear on the subject, but you are welcome to talk to them yourself.
Well, duh. Of course you have to evaluate your own situation based on the rules. If in doubt, they're more than happy to advise you. Just saying, SOME nannies are independent contractors. That's all.

Of course she needs to be looking, but why shouldn't she apply for the unemployment? It's really unconscionable not to give notice or severance. Have you done that to a nanny?

You can always apply. Will you get it ? That's up to the unemployment office to determine. Apply and find out

Short answer, yes. Long answer, you'll have to apply and see if total amount of time you worked for this family since it was so part time qualifies you for benefits.

Hi All,
I work 2 part time jobs. One is on a 1099 and the other is a W2. The job that was 10 hours a week on a w2 eliminated my position today, effective immediately. This was my main source of income in addition to my husband's income. I had recently asked for more hours at this job (though not full time hours) and had been denied. Can I file for unemployment for this part time job?
Thanks
