[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have an 8 month old and are purchasing a 4400 sf home. We will live *just* outside the beltway in the DC area (VA), not walking distance to metro but about 2 miles away. We will have a very large finished basement that includes a bedroom, full bath, and private entrance. We currently have a super nanny who is a grad student and she works for us 15 hours per week. Unfortunately, she is graduating and we have to find someone new. What I'm wondering is whether or not it is possible to advertise this position again as one that would provide housing in exchange for the 15 hours per week. I don't use the term "board" because I would not go grocery shopping for this person, but of course if we have milk or bread or whatever I'm not going to be a crazy person about it. But, rent and utilities would be included. Is this something that sounds like it would, or could, be attractive to someone? Where would I advertise? I looked at craigslist but it seemed kind of sketchy. Is care.com appropriate for something like this? Church bulletin? Also, the hours would be pretty flexible. We would need to set them ahead of time but could tailor them towards the right candidate's schedule.[/quote]
