Guaranteed Hours
Guaranteed hours are an industry standard and play a crucial role when hiring a nanny. Put simply, I am guaranteeing my availability to provide attentive care during the specific hours outlined in our contract. In return, you guarantee my payment for those hours, regardless of whether the full hours are needed each day. This arrangement ensures that you have consistent, reliable care for your children while I enjoy a steady, dependable income. It creates a fair and balanced partnership that benefits both of us.

Taxes
Nannies are legally classified as household employees rather than independent contractors. This means that families who hire nannies must treat them as W-2 employees, withholding Social Security, Medicare, and income taxes accordingly. Paying nanny taxes is not only a legal requirement but also helps protect both the employer and employee by ensuring proper tax reporting, eligibility for Social Security benefits, and compliance with labor laws.

Benefits
Nannies typically receive a range of employee benefits designed to support their well-being and work-life balance. These often include paid vacation time, allowing for rest and personal travel, as well as paid sick leave to cover unexpected illness. Many families also offer paid holidays, ensuring nannies can spend special days with their loved ones. Mileage reimbursement is commonly provided when nannies use their personal vehicles for errands or transporting children, helping cover fuel and maintenance costs. Additional benefits might include health insurance stipends, meal allowances, flexible scheduling, and opportunities for professional development, creating a supportive and rewarding work environment.
