Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does a nanny cost in Greenwood Lake?
Nannies in Greenwood Lake cost $18-$30 per hour. Live-in nannies cost less per hour but include room/board. Agency placement fees are typically one month's salary. Rates vary based on number of children, duties, and experience level. Nannies with early childhood education degrees or specialized experience (newborns, special needs) command higher rates.
2What does a nanny agency do?
A Greenwood Lake nanny agency handles background checks, reference verification, CPR/First Aid certification verification, and matching families with qualified caregivers. Agencies pre-screen candidates so you interview only vetted nannies. Placement fees are typically one month's salary, which covers the screening process and a replacement guarantee.
3Should I hire a nanny or use daycare in Greenwood Lake?
Nannies provide one-on-one attention in your home, flexible scheduling, and can handle household tasks. Daycare offers socialization, structured learning, and consistent care even if a provider is sick. For families with two or more children, a nanny can be more cost-effective than paying for multiple daycare spots in Orange County — do the math for your specific situation.
4What are the legal requirements for hiring a nanny in Greenwood Lake?
Hiring a household employee in NY comes with legal obligations. You must verify the nanny's right to work using USCIS Form I-9, obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, and pay the "nanny tax" — which includes withholding and remitting federal and state payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, federal and NY income tax). Families who pay a household employee $3,000 or more in a calendar year (2026 threshold) must file Schedule H with their federal tax return. Many families work with a payroll service like SurePayroll or HomePay to handle compliance. A nanny agency can walk you through the requirements during placement.
