What Details Are Required?

• Nanny and Parent Info – The names and contact details of the nanny and parent are needed to identify the parties involved in the child care arrangement.
• Names of Children – Each child under the nanny’s care must be named so the services can be linked to specific dependents (important for tax purposes).
• Service Description – A brief explanation of the child care services is required, and should be accompanied by the hourly rate or fee applied.
• Dates Worked – The start and end dates of the service period are used to define the timeframe covered by the payment.
• Payment Amount – All charges and reimbursable expenses (meals, mileage, etc.) must be itemized and totaled to show the amount paid.
• Tax ID – Reporting the nanny’s Social Security number, or an EIN if the nanny works through an agency, is essential for parents seeking tax credits.
