Home Care Software

I am about to hire an in-home nurse to help with the care of my mother. As I understand it, I (and/or my mom) will be the nurse’s employer, so I’ll need to have the paycheck/taxes issue taken care of.

Friends have suggested using an accountant, a pay service, or pay software. If anyone has had any experience with this, please let me know which option you would recommend.

Thanks for any input.

I’m a dad that stays at home and takes care of the kids. My wife works. We are filing our taxes as married filing jointly. Using the Tax Cut software, I have to select an occupation. What should I write?
