[quote=Anonymous]We had a live in for about 15 years - it was amazing.  A live in is more flexible and never can't come because of snow days.  She really become a part of our home and family.

The real key is finding someone you mesh with and also agreeing, in advance, anything you care about. (guests? meals? etc?)

We rarely ate dinner with our nanny - she had a half kitchen in her room and preferred to eat alone when she was done working, although of course there were times we all ate together (mostly for birthdays, holidays or whatever).  But of course we paid for all her food, cell phone, etc.

We all preferred space after work, I never let my kids knock on her door when she wasn't working, and she didn't really bother us when she was off either.

We were all respectful of each other's privacy, and of course this developed over time.

We had two "emergencies" during her time with us and it was such a relief to have someone at the house that we trusted.

It was strange when she left and we were happy to get our room back, but the kids grew up and we didn't need her.

Also, over time, as the kids got older, the job transformed from all child care to a combination of driving, child care, errands, etc.
