Does anyone pay there own children for working at their daycare? It sounds like it may be a little complicated, but worth the hassle.

Here is the link, and there are many others out there.

Thank you for that info. My teen daughter just got her working papers and would like to work somewhere summer. I had always given thought to the possibility of her assisting me. I'll have to look into it. Thank you!

Yes, I homeschool my 2 teenage boys, and I do pay them to help me. I don't pay per hour, but I pay them per child in my care. They each made over $1000 in 2010. I can claim their wages as expenses on my taxes, but until it hits somewhere like $5000 they don't have to file. It's not at all complicated, and you don't have to pay minimum wage. I didn't read the article that you posted, so I don't want to repeat what you have already learned, but if you have any specific questions, ask, and I'll do what I can to help
