[quote=Anonymous]Live In nannies should have defined work hours. They are not available 24/7 unless you are paying them 24/7.

According to federal law, you cannot charge room and board if YOU make living in a job requirement. Many LI nannies now charge what a live out nanny charges, because being a LI is an additional job stressor.

A nanny takes care of your children. LI or LO, her job description should prioritize the children and household tasks directly related to the children. It’s unlikely that a LI nanny will be eager to work additional hours doing cooking or cleaning unless you are paying a very high hourly rate. $40/hour might convince someone to work additional hours beyond the 52 or so you may need to cover your work hours to clean your house or cook your meals. So if you can afford to pay ultra top end hourly wages, you might find someone to work 60+ hours a week doing everything. You’d be looking at paying around $120,000 a year though.

You don’t sound like a family that’s excited to add an adult to your home. The friends who love having live in nannies - what are they paying per hour? Are they having their nanny do childcare/housekeeping/cooking/family laundry? Why do they love having a live in?[/quote]
