[quote=Anonymous]You really shouldn't go into it looking at "housing as part of the pay." The "live in" aspect is usually more for the employer's benefit; no "snow days" or tardiness due to "traffic", etc. Unless your nanny quarters are something truly extraordinary, the nanny would rather have the opportunity to "get away from work" after her shift. The fact that you also "only need a few hours a day" will also increase the rate/hour. Depending on the actual housing offered (is this a private guest home on a large estate? A basement apartment? A small bedroom sharing a bath with the kids?) I'd try starting around $25/hr and if you don't get any bites from well qualified candidates, raise the rate.[/quote]
