Giving Grandma the babysitting brush-off
Grandma's vying to replace your nanny. How do you politely decline?
"Things have really changed a lot in 25 to 30 years," says Brown Braun. "The way young parents want to (raise their kids) is often very different — letting them cry or not letting them cry, putting them down to sleep on their backs or their tummies, giving them candy or not giving them candy." When those new parents have handpicked the nanny — and pay him or her — they find it easier to spell out the house rules.

Child care can be expensive and is often the second highest monthly expense for families behind rent or a mortgage.
Nanny wages vary across the country and depend on experience levels and whether you provide housing. According to the 2012 INA Nanny Salary and Benefits Survey:
• The national average hourly rate for babysitting or short-term assignments is $16 an hour.
• The national average gross weekly salary for full time live-out nannies is $705

Parents: Do you pay the nanny tax?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that anyone who pays a household employee—whether it’s a gardener or a house cleaner—more than $1,800 cover taxes for that person. Yes, that means parents who hire a nanny to care for their kids full- or part-time are required to withhold Social Security and Medicare. Additional unemployment and state taxes also apply. Generally, the total amount comes out to be about 10 percent of the employee’s salary.
So, do most people pay what’s known as the nanny tax....
