Beware the tax- we have been stung!
We employed this nanny for approx 25 hours a week for a month in autumn 2019. We ended up with a huge tax bill because she insisted on us paying her tax (net) rather than gross as we had advertised and the tax was much higher than expected- that this was a second job was only disclosed just before she started the role and her first employment clearly had high tax implications . She also overslept twice and on one occasion it meant my husband missed a business flight. Good nanny but I wouldn’t recommend. We had to let her go very quickly.

I’m glad that you say at the end of your review that I’m a good nanny, thanks.
I did mention that I had another job at the interview.
Your payroll agency made a mistake with the payslips and they didn’t ask me if I shared my tax allowance or not. I’m not obligated to and I don’t.
I insisted on my net rate and you agreed to it.
Im sorry that you were stung by a high tax but I guess as a employer a lesson to learn about tax allowance.
Good luck x
