Payroll Parterships
If you hire a nanny independently, you become a household employer.
This means you now have federal and state employment responsibilities, including tax withholding, payroll documentation, and compliance requirements.
​
For many families, this raises important questions.
What does household employment actually involve?
How do you ensure payroll taxes are handled correctly?
Do you need workers compensation insurance?
How do you set everything up properly from the start so we don't get audited?​
​
At Nurturing Nannies, we believe professional care deserves professional structure.
That includes payroll.​
Many families attempt to manage household payroll informally, not realizing the compliance and tax implications involved. We want better for both families and caregivers. For that reason, we have partnered with the top three trusted household payroll providers that specialize in nanny employment, ensuring you'll find one that fits your family's needs best.
Because we feel so strongly about legally pay we will cover your enrollment fees for GTM and Homework Solutions, and Poppins Payroll extends two complimentary months of service through our partnership. These partnership benefits are available to any family, nationwide, hiring a nanny independently. You do not need to be a client of Nurturing Nannies to take advantage of these preferred rates. Simply use the links provided below for GTM or Homework Solutions, or enter the code NURTURING when enrolling with Poppins Payroll.
​
Families who use these payroll providers directly remain the sole employer of their nanny. Nurturing Nannies does not act as the employer of record and is not legally responsible for payroll, tax, or employment obligations when families hire independently. If you are wanting us to legally employ your nanny check out our Full Service Staffing Options.
