Your homeowners' insurance policy covers household employees for workers compensation (on-the-job injuries). If you don't have homeowners' insurance and someone gets hurt, you could be liable for lots of money! You might also want to hire through a reputable firm that checks references, provides bonded employees -- and pays their withholding taxes and does the tax paperwork.
