Maybe, but I think most nannies would prefer to have the taxes deducted every pay period.
Depends on the situation. I've worked for an employer who was still waiting on a state EIN, so I know how to deal with it. Of course, I've also dealt with an employer who didn't deduct anything other than what they matched (SS/Medicare), and I took care of my own taxes. OP, talk to the nanny, see what she prefers.
