[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you. To the nanny PP. Yes, I would specify much more clearly what I mean, but basically just cleaning the house and perhaps doing laundry. There won’t be any other errands or projects/cooking.

Wouldn’t a nanny find it convenient also since she will have no commute and won’t have to pay for rent? What am I missing here?[/quote]

Generally, this means you're narrowing your applicant pool - no one with a spouse/kids of their own will want this.   3-6 for pickup, activities, and dinner is unrealistic.  $20 × 20 = $400/week, $20K/year.  That's not a lot of money to cover food, insurance, health care, etc.    And if you lose your job, you lose your housing, so it's a bigger risk for an employee.  Maybe a college student who can work their classes around it?  Will you expect them to handle days off school, too?  That makes it hard to manage classes or another job.  [/quote]

Agree it’s a somewhat niche fit but given that it comes with a two bedroom apartment I’d think this could be a great option for a single mom with a tween/teen (especially if the house is located in a good school district).[/quote]
