Nest Payroll reviews
Relief for the Non-Accountant ★★★★★
“It was so tempting for us to hire a nanny for cash just based on the fear of doing the payroll requirements but I’m so glad that reasonable temperaments prevailed and we instead went with Nest. It’s been so easy and we can rest assured that we are doing everything by the book.”

Using for more than 2 years ★★★★★
“Great app and support staff. They make managing and paying employees very simple. They provide excellent documentation and support to help you make tax payments throughout the year and it’s so easy to file your tax return. Very responsive when asked questions. Priced just right too.

Makes Nanny Employment Easy ★★★★★
“Nest, both the app and the team behind it, have made employing a nanny for our family so easy. No stress about paperwork and taxes - they handle it all. And anytime I have questions they are responsive and helpful. I genuinely appreciate how effortless they make it.”

Easy and affordable ★★★★★
“Nest payroll team not only solved my retroactive tax situation, but also helped me navigate through the set up of local state tax. The user interface is simple and affordable. This is one of the best apps for running Nanny Payroll !”

Great product and great support (reviewed by CPA) ★★★★★
“I am really impressed with this app. As a CPA, I have manually handled payroll, and Nest does all the compliance work including tax filings and tax payments in a fraction of the time - with no mistakes. I found the link to Venmo once the paycheck is approved especially helpful. (Very nice integration!)My employer (nanny) really appreciated receiving her paystubs and W-2s electronically.Both times I’ve reached out to support, I received a response within 1-4 hours. I’ve never had any issues using the app, just specific payroll questions (didn’t want to duplicate what Nest does). I highly recommend this app for household employee payroll!”

Been great ★★★★★
“I’ve been using this app for a few months now and it has been easy and affordable. I use it to pay my house/dog sitter when I need to be away all day. The only complaint I have is the pay option through Nest. I tried it once and it took a week for my employee to get her pay deposited in her account. Not sure how my employer gets my time on Thursday and deposits my pay the next day. Maybe they pay a lot more for a service. I switched to a work around by transferring the net pay to my employee from my checking account as we use the same Credit Union. It’s easy. Just process the payroll through nest and nest gives you the net amount to transfer. I make a note in the transfer of “Payroll”. Every quarter the taxes are pulled out for the employee and employer portions, so make sure your setting that money aside so you don’t get a surprise. Nest set up my state federal tax for me, I didn’t have to do a thing.”

Excellent customer support ★★★★★
“I have been using this app for almost 2 years to manage my nanny’s payroll. The best part is the highly responsive customer support team that you can reach by email or text. It truly feels like a concierge service in an app.”

Great Service and Easy to Use ★★★★★
“This is a great resource. I needed something easy. Payroll each week is seamless.”
-JG Nanny, 02/09/2023, 5-star Apple App Store review
Wonderful customer support and easy to use ★★★★★
“We used Nest Payroll for about a year and a half while we had our nanny. They provided wonderful customer support, answered all our questions, helped us get set up with tax id, provide tax payments, etc. After our nanny moved away and we switched to daycare, it was easy to cancel our subscription; we did elect to pay for the extra end of year tax form support (W-2 and Schedule H, etc.) which they’d provided wonderfully before. The app is very easy to use. Thank you so much Nest Payroll for everything- you really made the whole process very easy (which this tired momma really appreciated)! Highly recommended- they definitely earned five stars.”
-MistyAura8, 01/12/2023, 5-star Apple App Store review
Super easy ★★★★★
“I have used the app for almost 3 years and it was so easy to use. The tax reporting was simple, paystub issuing was trivial. The one time I had to contact support they helped me immediately and then very soon a feature was added to the app for my problem (w4 dependent claims).”

Makes it so easy to pay legally ★★★★★
“We’ve been using Nest for close to a year, and I love how painless it makes it to pay employees legally. It guides you through everything and even gives you a heads up when you have upcoming quarterly tax payments. To the developers: one feature request that I would love is for the ability to do two week pay periods and have an employee portal where employees can log their hours.”

Great service ★★★★★
“Have been using for a couple years and multiple nannies, very easy to get setup, they handle all the work, and easy to use!”

Best payroll app, look no further. ★★★★★
“I went through an exhaustive search on Reddit and all the major payroll providers. By far, this is the best experience. Kudos for offering this.”
-jmk1000, 10/16/2022, 5-star Apple App Store review
They have a goal and they crushed it! ★★★★★
“Nest payroll clearly understands its user base. They know what is needed and provide the easiest and most fluid service for paying household employees. I was overwhelmed by piecing all the tax info together and making spreadsheets to track hours and calculate pay and adjust withholdings. Nest payroll was worth the cost. Spending less time on payroll meant more time spent with my little one.”

Top 3 Nanny Payroll app ★★★★★
“Best payroll app out there. Not sure why it’s not in more blog reviews, but it should. Amazing and 1-1 customer service helping solve many issues and back tax questions we had. They solved it all quick and friendly. No stress or hassle. They filled everything for me and made it seamless for my employee and myself. Would use again, and will definitely recommend to everyone I know. Amazing work Nest Payroll team!”

Would recommend! ★★★★★
“Very simple and easy to use, responded right away with troubleshooting help as well”

This system is genius ★★★★★
“I signed up for Nest Payroll on a Sunday night when our nanny was starting the next day after not being able to get an EIN (because it wasn’t business hours) while trying to set up another payroll system. Nest took less than 5 minutes to set up, and they handle all of the tedious parts of dealing with the government and taxes. If you don’t mind using Venmo or Cashapp to pay your employee, I definitely recommend using Nest. It’s a really clever system and has simplified my life.”
-mollco, 04/23/2022, 5-star Apple App Store review
Great service ★★★★★
“I’ve been using NestPayroll for about nine months. I chose it because of the reasonable price point and integration with payment apps that make it so easy to pay our nanny. The one time I needed assistance, customer service was friendly, fast and efficient. I highly recommend this app.”
-Gowith D'flo, 03/27/2022, 5-star Apple App Store review
Love so easy ★★★★★
“I really wanted little home with me as I do work at home however I still needed someone to watch her. This is an amazing App and they are very helpful when I have questions as I am new to running payroll. The Nanny appreciates it too so she can have proof of employment for buying a car.
-mlaw103, 03/24/2022, 5-star Apple App Store review
Great payroll app ★★★★★
“This is a great app! have been using this for a few months now. It is easy to use, and it has a lot of useful information within it. And the staff has been quick to response whenever I call, text, or email them with questions. There are 2 things I’d like to see upgraded:1) to have a per pay period employer tax totals (showing the employer taxes per pay period). There is a running total for employer taxes but my employer would like to see what the amount it is each pay period that the YTD is adding up to. 2) to have a semi monthly payroll option. It’s currently only weekly pay periods. Which creates a little more work for me. (Having to cut 2 weekly paychecks, adding together the net pay of each check to pay the employee). Nothing huge that I can’t handle, but would like to have that option. Anyway the app is great and the people behind it have been so nice and helpful.”

Nest payroll made paying our nanny easy ★★★★★
“I was pulling my hair out in frustration after trying another well known nanny payroll service. I couldn’t believe how hard everything was. Nest payroll was the exact opposite! They responded quickly with straightforward emails to my questions. Payroll was easy and they walked me through all the steps needed to have them pay quarterly taxes for me. At the end of the year there was a W2 for my nanny and a schedule H for me. Their service was worth every penny ! My nanny has recently moved on from our household. I was so happy to see that even canceling Nest payroll was easy, straightforward and pleasant. I highly recommend them !”
-cat—lover, 02/27/2022, 5-star Apple App Store review
Nest is the best! ★★★★★
“After trying two other payroll services, and doing it on our own, I can confidently say Nest has the most amazing service! My husband and I are both educated, but found we were spending way too much of our free time figuring out paperwork…and new paperwork after a move. From working parent-friendly customer support hours, to a user-friendly app designed with a modern parent in mind, we have loved it! They have great email support, and the ability to fix some previous filings (or lack thereof). You can pay using Venmo, and view everything with the tap of a finger on your phone!”
-silverolive, 07/13/2021, 5-star Apple App Store review
Finally convenient household employee payroll ★★★★★
“I’ve been paying my nanny with Nest payroll for years and it’s been great. I add up hours on Friday when it’s still fresh in mind, and the nanny gets paid immediately. I do it on my phone on my schedule, not on the computer when the pay service is ready. Convenience matters!”
-Milele, 01/30/2022, 5-star Apple App Store review
Super helpful support ★★★★★
“App is great, but it’s the people behind the service that make this work. I never thought SMS support would be a good thing, these folks make it work seamlessly. They made payroll so simple even an orangutan like me can manage it.”
-Wiicycle, 07/09/2021, 5-star Apple App Store review
Excellent customer service & easy to use ★★★★★
“I’ve used Nest Payroll to pay my nanny for the past 10 months and I’ve been impressed at every step along the way. This was my first time having a household employee and the team at Nest was so helpful in getting me set up and organized. Throughout the setup they shared their vast knowledge with me about the intricacies of different state and federal taxes and were quick to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend the service and the company!”
-yaddayadayada, 07/02/2021, 5-star Apple App Store review
Excellent service ★★★★★
“Very easy to use. Great customer service. There was someone always available to chat on phone and answer all questions. They also helped me prepare taxes retroactively. Special thanks to Carol who was very helpful.”
-vsrkcsk, 05/10/2021, 5-star Apple App Store review
Easy, trustworthy and pleasant service ★★★★★
“100% recommend! I am so glad I found this service. Super easy to use and the customer service is excellent. They handle everything, all the filings and more, and take the worry out of it. Well worth the fee, which is also considerably less than other companies offering same service. I truly believe this is a company that cares about doing things the right way and for the right reasons.”

NestPayroll app is the best! ★★★★★

-Beanward, 04/30/2021, 5-star Apple App Store review
So easy ★★★★★
“I have been using Nest Payroll for a few months. It’s a lovely interface, super easy to use, and I don’t need to remember anymore to adjust a pay stub before a deadline like with the other, really pricey, service I used to use (I always missed the deadline so the hours would be wrong). Great customer service too, I text them and they reply back within a couple hours. I like the messages they send in the app when it’s tax time. I really don’t need to pay too much attention, but I know they are doing the tax work. Thanks for making it easy!”
-SkiSlopeMama, 04/01/2021, 5-star Apple App Store review
Love it! ★★★★★
“With COVID I had to hire a nanny for the first time, and one week into Nest Payroll I love it. I feel good that we are paying taxes and above board; the pay statement gets emailed right to the nanny and I can Venmo her in real time. This is 100% worth the cost.”

This app is a time saver! ★★★★★
“To begin, this review was not solicited by the app makers. This is my honest review. When I became a mom on New Year’s Eve 2018, I was not prepared for the many challenges that lied ahead with my newborn. With no family nearby to help, I found a young person from my church to nanny for me. I heard that I would have to pay nanny taxes and figured that it would be something relatively simple to do. It wasn’t until my nanny needed a W-2 to do her 2019 taxes that I started looking into how to do this “nanny tax” thing and discovered that this process was anything but simple. I should have known better since we are talking about the government. Anyways, I quickly realized that even though I had kept meticulous records of the hours that she worked and how much I paid her, the amount of paperwork that was needed and the interpretation of said paperwork would demand time from me that I didn’t have. So I started the search for a payroll company to help me. I came across many options that wanted to charge me fees like I was running a business that was generating actual revenues. I’m just a mom working full-time and paying someone out of my personal salary, I can’t afford the high fees that they were seeking. Somehow, I came across NestPayroll in the App Store and I’m glad I did. At the time they were not supporting the state of Florida yet. But I took a gamble and emailed them to find out when they will be up and running in Florida. To my delight and relief, they were getting ready to launch in my state that week. I had email contact with them multiple times that week and they were willing to answer all my questions and help me get set up. I now do payroll for my two nannies without any complications and can send them professional looking paystubs. I am so grateful that I came across this app.”

Great app great service great price ★★★★★
“When you compare what Nest does behind the scenes (not just telling you what you have to do), the relative price, and the service behind the app... nothing better in the market for household employee payroll and compliance. Seriously.”
