As Good As Me does not employ any caregivers. All caregivers are employees of the families’ and will be paid directly by the family. We assist our clients in getting proper payroll set up and help to make this part of hiring a nanny easy. According to the IRS your nanny/household employee is to be paid as a W2 employee of the household. It is not legal to pay your nanny as an independent contractor.
