Hiring household help also means becoming a household employer.

When a family hires a nanny, newborn care specialist, family assistant, housekeeper, or other household employee, payroll should be handled as thoughtfully as the search itself. Beach Baby Nannies helps families clarify the role; Poppins Payroll helps make the pay, taxes, and household-employer setup easier to manage.

Why legal pay matters

A cleaner hire starts with payroll that is set up correctly.

Protect the family

Household payroll helps families document wages, withholdings, taxes, and year-end forms instead of trying to reconstruct everything later.

Respect the employee

Legal pay gives household professionals clearer income records, employment documentation, and a more professional working relationship.

Support a stable match

When compensation, timing, taxes, and expectations are clear, the placement starts with fewer avoidable surprises.

How the handoff works

BBN handles the match. Poppins helps handle the payroll mechanics.

Clarify the role

BBN helps define schedule, duties, pay range, household needs, and the kind of candidate who can succeed in the home.

Make the offer

Families confirm compensation, start date, guaranteed hours, benefits, reimbursements, and other terms before the placement begins.

Set up payroll

Poppins helps families organize household payroll, tax accounts, filings, payments, direct deposit options, and year-end documents.

Keep support close

BBN remains available around the placement, while Poppins supports payroll questions through its concierge and customer support teams.

For Santa Barbara and Ventura families

Payroll should be discussed before the first day, not after the first paycheck.

BBN can help families think through the real offer: hourly rate, guaranteed hours, overtime exposure, reimbursements, paid time off, and whether the person is a nanny, family assistant, housekeeper, or broader household employee.

From there, Poppins gives families a dedicated household payroll system and California-specific resources so the employment side of the hire is less overwhelming.
