We just had our first baby and will be returning to work in early 2017. We just found a great nanny off of care.com. We will be paying her via check on a weekly/monthly basis depending upon how many hours we use her for.
I'm just curious, am I able to use the flexible spending account for childcare for something like this? I know we could if we used a formal daycare but I wasn't sure if that was the case when we hire a "private" nanny. And if it is possible, how do I do this if I'm paying the nanny via check. Is there a best way to reimburse myself? I'm just unfamiliar with this whole area but know there are potential for big savings and would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks!
