Ask the nanny.

Rate will vary depending on how many hours you need, what experience you prefer, and what perks you offer.

I agree, but will add this... Parents often expect to lower the hourly rate for a live-in. I never agreed to a lower rate because the required sacrifices outweighed any benefits of living in. The huge benefit to the parents is that you never need to worry about commuting issues, snow days, etc.

12-15 per hr. But really depends on duties and hours worked. It’s not just a dollar amount, it’s the whole package.

Isn't that low rate for a college kid with little experience?

You pay for the inconvenience, lack of privacy that a nanny has to endure as a live-in. A live-in is a convenience for lazy parents. No less than $18/hr depending on experience.

A live in is a convenience for a Nanny too. Not everyone wants to pay ridiculous rents.
$15 an hour is $600 a week. I get that taxes etc come out of that, but you have no rent to pay, no utility bills, cable etc. Its a good deal.

Unless your nanny has less than 2 years of experience with living in, less than 2 years of experience with infants (and you need infant care) or less than 5 years total experience, you will pay the same that you would for a live-out nanny. The only exception is that unless you’re in MD, NY or CA (and a few other locations that have local regulations), you don’t need to pay overtime.

Live-in nannies are also not expected to be available outside of scheduled hours. If you need more hours, make sure you negotiate for the hours you need, including on call hours, and most live-in nannies will want to do salary based on those hours.

Lower rates for live-ins reflect the major benefit to the nanny of not having to pay for housing, food, utilities etc. It's a lower rate but probably works out to the same amount that the nanny has left after all her expenses are paid.

The poster with a $500/week live-in nanny is of course underpaying but consider that this nanny can easily save close to 100% of her pay since most of her basic costs have been eliminated.

Irrelevant.

You can legally deduct room and board if the nanny is given a choice to live-in or live-out AFTER accepting the position. If it’s a condition of the position, you can’t deduct.

I wouldn’t accept less than $20 an hour as a live in

Even that is cheap.
