We make a difficult process simple. If you’ve ever employed a nanny directly, you know that it gets a lot more complicated than placing an ad, agreeing on a salary, and writing a personal check every couple of weeks. Some of the perils of hiring a nanny include: processing payroll forms and providing tax documents complying with state and federal tax laws making worker’s compensation contributions calculating and paying full or matching Social Security deductions providing personal liability insurance verifying visa and work permit status assuming liability for unemployment insurance claims

Ambassador Nannies takes the risk, uncertainty and hassle out of the equation

The IRS classifies nannies as employees that cannot be hired as independent contractors.  That means that if you hire a nanny independently, you cannot escape full responsibility and liability as an employer.  When you hire your nanny through Ambassador Nannies, we are the employer, and we assume responsibility, allowing you and your family to simply enjoy your nanny.

Easy billing, online payments, and tax savings

Don’t forget, the principal reason you’re hiring a nanny is to free up time, simplify life, and keep your family life running smoothly.  Because we handle all of the legal, tax and insurance details for you, the only “paperwork” you’ll see is your online statement each two weeks. You can even pay online with the click of a button or arrange for automatic payments from a bank account or credit card.

Be sure to ask your tax accountant about eligibility for substantial deductions and credits, including the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit and tax-free Dependent Care spending accounts.
