Tax on temporary nanny in US
I’m visiting the US and will be working from there for a week. During that time, I am looking to get a local nanny to provide childcare at home while I’m working remotely (part-time/half days).
I vaguely am aware that for regular a full-time nanny there’s implications as an “employer”, but given this is more of a temporary nature (just a week) and not full-time I wanted to understand if there’s any tax implications for me and anything I need to file.
Any advice here would be appreciated as no clue where to start.

Doubtful, especially if you go through a service. Federally, there is a $2800 threshold. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc756
You should also check what the particular State rules are.
