2. Nanny Contract and Paychecks
--------------------------------------------------------
MamaWobin - 2/15/2012 9:09 am

 I see this question posted a few times but my search
 didn't find an answer so... Does anyone have an example
 of a nanny contract they'd be willing to share? We're
 especially interested in one for 6 months as we're
 having commitment issues. Also, do people use
 Nannychex.com or paychex.com or something similar to
 pay their nannies? Or just write personal checks? This
 is our first time hiring an employee like this and we
 want to do it above the table but not even sure how!
 Any help/advice is appreciated! Thanks!

 We're dealing with the same thing. I don't have any
 contract advice for you - I guess we're just going to
 have to write one ourselves - but for paying them,
 there are several services. Examples I've looked into
 are GTM, Breedlove, 4nannytaxes, nannychex, Intuit has
 a service... they differ slightly in price, and we
 haven't picked one yet, but from what I can tell they
 will really manage the whole thing for you - calculate
 the taxes, issue a pay stub, move a direct deposit from
 your account into the nanny's account, and pay your
 quarterly taxes on the nanny. If you're going to do it
 above the table, I think using one of these services is
 a much better idea than writing personal checks.

Topic: What's your favorite book on twin toddlers?

 Now that my boys are full-fledged toddlers, I definitely see
 unique challenges compared...

 I have a non-recommendation -- Ready or Not Here We Go:
 the Real expert's guide to toddler twins by Lyons. It
 didn't seem to have much information at all,
 disappointingly useless, I thought. Anyone else find a
 book they like about toddler twins or just toddlers?
 Maybe the SFPOM should write a book!

 We pay the hourly rate while the boys are awake - so
 8am - 8pm -- and then $75 for the overnight fee as
 well.
