Its illegal to deduct room and board from live in nannies[/quote]

No it’s not ! As long as you are paying them the minimum hourly wage in your state. VA has a minimum hourly wage or $12/ hour , so assuming OP lives in VA, they are not doing anything illegal . Keep in mind they are also providing full room and board for the nanny, which pretty much leaves the nanny with a discretionary spending of $2000 a month. How many blue collar workers do you know who have $2000 left over after paying rent, utilities and groceries every month?[/quote]

The nanny might have a car payment, car insurance payments, health insurance costs, cell phone bills, grocery bills, clothing costs, personal care costs, etc. It’s not “discretionary spending” if it all goes to pay bills and provide for needs.

And it actually is illegal to withhold wages to cover “rent and board” if you value those things at more than about $135 a week. [/quote]
