Paying a minor dependent

I have a small consulting sole proprietorship. If I pay my dependent say $10 a week to clean my office I know they do not need to file a return due to being less than the standard deduction. 

 

Do I need to file/pay any payroll tax for them?

Do they need to pay any payroll tax?

Do I need to submit a w2 to them?

They can use this earned income to fund a Roth ira while I can use it to reduce my taxable.income, right?
