      <image:title>Families - Payroll Information</image:title>
      <image:caption>We encourage that all our caregivers be paid legally or “on the books” as an in-home employee and be provided with a W-2 at the end of the year. We understand becoming an employer can be time-consuming and confusing, so to help take that stress away, we have partnered with HomeWork Solutions, the nationwide leader in nanny payroll and taxes. As a Career Nannies and Household Staffing client, we have also arranged for the enrollment fee to be waived when you mention our name!</image:caption>
