[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will hate having a live-in, OP. I am an introvert and it would drive me nuts to have another adult other than my spouse and kids in my house in the evening and weekends. You never get a break from each other. Many nannies also have need their privacy and downtime away from the sights and sounds of their workplace (your home). [/quote]
Disagree. I was very happy as a live-in professional nanny as long as I had a private bathroom, and my pay was fair. No discounts for living in. I appreciated not having to drive to work every day. [b]I did, however, go back to my condominium on the weekends.[/b]

Key is finding the right introverted nanny. It can definitely be a win-win.[/quote]

That would not work for OP.  She needs the nanny to live there the whole week. I think having the expectation that the nanny ive the whole week in the basement would be claustrophobic.  Even introverts need to have natural light and a window to look out of in their living quarters.

Right?! “Can we hire someone to live in our basement only to watch our kids and we can venture into to basement at any time for use of the playroom or the gym but just to be clear, she can’t leave the basement on weekends. Also I don’t want her in our upstairs space. Or to have any friends because Covid.”[/quote]
