1. There are two types of live-in nanny.  One is just starting or is a student doing it short term.  The other is a career nanny.  Career nannies sometimes take temp jobs while looking for something better and long term.

2. There are plenty of career nannies who live in.  We either have already had our families or don’t want one.

3. School age kids right now need to be doing at least some educational work this summer.  The amount that they missed this school year...  A career nanny experienced with that age is a better choice than a student or starting nanny in terms of educating kids.[/quote]

There are obviously all kinds of configurations and arrangements of childcare.  Whatever works for the family and the nanny is what's best for them. For what it's worth, the career nannies I've observed tend to focus on the preschool set.  Once you enter elementary/older elementary years, it's a completely different ballgame.  This OP looks like they are looking for a stopgap solution rather than permanent childcare. I feel like families who look for live-in nannies have this mindset from the beginning vs. "omigod no camps this summer what to do??" situation.[/quote]
