Yup, this. Live In nannies do not make less than live outs.

They absolutely do, what crazy crack are you smoking

Nope, they don’t. We pay our nanny $28/hr for one baby. My best friend has a live in nanny who has her own walk out “aupair suite” in their basement. They pay her $27/hr for 2 kids ages 4 and 6. A live in nanny isn’t the same as an aupair, you don’t get to pay them next to nothing…sorry.

I never get why you can’t pay nanny less if you provide housing. I have an English basement that would be perfect. It rents for about $1500, probably more now. I would think salary would go down 10k as a compromise? I don’t need someone after hours or any time outside of working hours like an au pair.

How do you factor in housing with salary. We’d use a payroll service and do everything legally. But no clue how providing housing impacts the hourly rate.

How many times does this have to be said,:. IF THE JOB REQUIRES lIVNG IN, YOU CANNOT DEDUCT FOR RENT! Repeat this ten times and write it ten times and maybe it will get through to your concrete brain.
I live in is a convenience for you not the nanny.

Calm down, PP. This is not strictly true. A live in arrangement can benefit the nanny as well.

Our nanny and her tween daughter moved with us to Los Angeles. We found a house with a guest house for nanny and her daughter. Rents are incredibly high in LA so this definitely benefitted nanny. Nanny’s hourly rate went down to $20 an hour (a 33.5% decrease) because she was given housing and utilities as part of her package. Our nanny works regular hours, same as when she lived out, but has a shorter commute home.

Depending on how many kids and ages, $50k plus benefits.

OP here, thanks for sharing this article. It brings up a lot of great points. We’re going to have to think about if we want to move forward with this candidate or find someone who doesn’t need housing.

DP here.

OP, I think that's a really important conversation to have. One of the things about live-in is that the challenges and pitfalls often aren't intuitive (just like the fact that it often isn't cheaper for the employer, after all). It's worth taking a good, hard look before you enter into it.

And remember that a poor fit isn't really good for either party in the end.

22.26 again. If the nanny needs housing and responded to a live-out position asking about the possibility of living in, yes, it's legal to deduct, but you have to be *very* careful, and the amounts are very small.

It's worth about 10-12k a year depending if you pay for food

$5 an hour

Did you advertise for live-out only? If you did, and she asked to live in, you can deduct a minimal amount for room and board, but it's very low.

If you advertised for either live-in or live-in/live-out, you'll pay whatever hourly rate she charges.

This is our first time hiring a nanny and we met someone we like who wants a live in position. We have a walkout finished walkout basement with a bedroom, bathroom and (small) kitchen so we’re seriously considering it.
