Are nannies interested in living in the basement of their employer?

This would reduce the cost of travel to my house for work, and I could have someone I trust in the basement, which I think is a win-win for everyone.

If the job requires her to live in the you cannot pay less. Also, unless nanny is homeless why would anyone to live in the same house as their boss where, without a doubt, you would invade her privacy and feel no qualms about taking advantage of her time!

Where do youi r because some jurisdictions have stringent regulations about renting to non relatives
Also, does it pass fire regulations? Windows must be large enough for a firefighter, in full regalia, to get through. There must also be two methods of egress from the basement. If one is through your area of house then that door must always remain unlocked.
