"Nanny"?

 

This isn't your question, but I thought I would mention this just to warn you about potential problems and/or to help you with future situations.  A "nanny" is typically somebody that works in your home watching your child, and that usually means they are a "Household Employee".  That means that in most cases YOU should be paying Social Security, Medicare, Federal Unemployment, and possibly State Unemployment, Worker's Compensation or other state requirements for that "nanny" (but there are exceptions).  Plus you would have been legally obligated to get her information (including her Social Security Number) BEFORE she started working for you (to verify she was eligible to be hired).

 

Again, that isn't what you asked about.   But you may want to be aware that if you were required to do such things and did not do them, it is possible that the nanny will notify the IRS (and/or the state Department of Labor) about it and the IRS (and/or the state Department of Labor) would eventually contact you.
