I'm Alex, the founder of NannyKeeper. Honestly a little nervous to post this one, as it's more of a personal project that "grew up" into a full-stack product. I never set out to build a payroll company. We hired a nanny last year, and then I got totally blindsided by how much tax compliance needs to happen on the back-end. I assumed nannies were simple 1099's, but turned out they're actually W-2's. Which means I needed to register for an EIN, file Schedule H's, do quarterly filings, register with my state, etc. All of the existing solutions fell into either of two buckets (and sometimes both): they either looked like they were built in the early 2000's, or they charged an arm and a leg every single month. So I took it upon myself to just automate it for my own needs... which soon translated into turning this into a shippable product for others to use. NannyKeeper does the same job for $10/month. Automatic tax calculations for all 50 states, W-2 and Schedule H at year-end, quarterly reminders with exactly what you owe, automatic direct deposit support, and a portal where your nanny can track time and see their pay stubs. If you pay your nanny under the IRS $3000/year threshold and just need to track hours, there's a free plan too. There's also a free contract builder if you need help codifying your agreement and making sure everything is laid out clearly with your caregiver. 🎁 For the PH community: use code PRODUCTHUNT for your first month free. Two things I'd like your take on: 1. Parents who've hired a nanny -- how did you handle the tax side? Did you know you were supposed to? I'd love to hear about your journey as well, and especially if there's anything you did (or needed to do) that I've missed here. 2. Besides things like TurboTax, what other personal tax-related tools to you use to help make your life easier? And how much do you use (and trust) AI to do this for you, when it comes to your own personal taxes? Happy to answer anything about nanny taxes or how the thing is built. Cheers!
