It was a worrisome question at an inopportune time: Was the nanny to Marco Rubio’s children legal?
That issue sprang briefly up during Rubio’s 2010 U.S. Senate campaign, according two people aware of the situation.
Yes, the nanny was legal, the campaign tells the Tampa Bay Times, but Rubio had to pay back taxes to reflect her employment, adding a new layer to his history of shaky financial management.
“Marco has employed a full-time household employee since 2010 and paid all applicable taxes annually as reflected in his tax returns. She is, and has been, a permanent legal resident during the entire time of her employment with the Rubio family,” Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said.
“From 2006 to 2009, she worked for the Rubios as a contractor, meaning she also worked for other families. In 2012, without inquiry or prompting, Marco decided to reclassify her employment for the years 2006 to 2009 as a full-time household employee, and he paid the applicable taxes.”
It’s not clear from the statement why Rubio waited until 2012 to address the situation, why he reclassified the nanny or how much he paid in applicable taxes.

Rubio...Just go on back to Florida and hope and pray you can elected as mayor at Ponte Vedre or something....Just go....
It sort of makes sense that people with household SERVANTS see the benefit of desperate new-arrivals.
Sure, there are a small number of people who have to employ them but more and more there are ordinary Americans who use them to live out some fantasy as higher-class nobles.
It’s ridiculous and it’s undemocratic.
A bus driver family with a NANNY..?
Please.
I didn’t mean to laugh....Guess there were no americans who wanted to do it...
There you go again Marco
Meaning she supposedly worked for other families....wanna bet?? Let’s see her taxes....not his taxes. She would have gotten a 1099.
