[quote=Anonymous]We are considering a live in nanny because DH and I need to leave for work early most days and think it could be easier. We were hesitant at first because we don’t love the idea of having someone in our space 24/7 during the week but I would love to know about others’ experience.

What does your nanny do when they are off - stay in their room or hang out in the main house? Do they cook their own meals or do you cook for them? Do they eat with you? Do they go out with friends after hours and come back late?

From what I gather from my two friends with live ins, it seems very personality dependent. One friend, whose nanny is very quiet and reserved by nature, disappears into her room at 6:30pm when she gets off and doesn’t emerge until she starts working the next morning. Another friend who has a pretty lively nanny said the nanny asked to eat with them but cooks her own elaborate meals and isn’t always so great at cleaning up after herself, and often wants to hang out and chat when the kids are in bed (she finds it to be too much but her kids love the nanny).
