Transcription: 
Why is it important to hire a nanny legally? Well, I think it’s important to hire anybody who’s going to help in your house legally for a lot of reasons. And I have a lot of personal experience in this. But I think from a financial standpoint, you get to put them on the books, so you get to insure them, you get to give them a company check or they become a taxable person that’s responsible to not only you but to the government and everybody else, so it makes it a lot cleaner and simpler. A lot of people will say the exact opposite thing, it just makes it easier for me to just write them a check or pay them in cash and nobody’s the wiser. Well, I can tell you from personal experience having a nanny who was severely injured while working for us that the legal issues that came up… I was very, very fortunate to have had her as a documented worker for me and the insurance that was able to help her out, because she was covered by my family’s insurance made all the difference in the world for her life and for my family’s life.
