WHO WE HELP
Hired a Nanny or Caregiver? We Handle the Payroll, Taxes and Compliance.
When you hire someone to care for your family, whether that's a nanny, a senior caregiver, or other household staff, you take on real tax and payroll obligations. Most families don't know this until after their first paycheck, or even later. We've helped families navigate it for over 30 years.
Tell us who you’ve hired.
Choose the situation that fits your family and we’ll show you exactly what’s involved and how we handle it.
You just became a household employer with federal and state tax obligations. We handle everything from setup to year-end W-2s, so you can focus on your family.
- Employer registration and EIN setup
- Full payroll processing, direct deposit, and benefits tracking
- Quarterly tax filings in all states, including local compliance
- Year-end W-2 and Schedule H

- Full payroll processing
- Multi-state capability when needed
- Compliance for long-term care arrangements

You're not alone in this. It's more manageable than it looks.
Most families don’t realize they’ve become employers until something prompts them. It might be a nanny agency requirement, a W-2 request from their caregiver, a CPA raising a concern, or a question from a friend. If any of those brought you here, you’re in the right place.
Household employment involves federal taxes, state taxes, local taxes, unemployment filings, labor law requirements, and year-end reporting. It’s real, it matters, and it’s genuinely complex. But you don’t need to understand all of it. That’s our job.
- We've been doing this since 1993. We know every edge case.
- We handle every state, including multi-state arrangements.
- We can go backwards if you've been paying without compliance.
- You'll talk to a real household employment specialist every time.
Getting started takes about 10 minutes.
