[quote=Anonymous]I agree that if you were to somehow give them a small private kitchen  this this would sweeten the deal by a lot. If you were to put a kitchen in I don't think you'll have a hard time finding someone to exchange child care for living arrangements with no extra compensation.  It would basically be a separate apartment. However, since there currently isn't a kitchen it is really like renting a room. Another thing that would sweeten the deal is if you allowed pets or for the nanny to bring a significant other or a child to live with them. Pets and significant others are not usually allowed in live in situations so someone who wants to bring one of them would see this job as very appealing if they were able to do so.

If you seek out someone less experienced, their time watching your children is not as valuable as a professional nanny so they may be willing to exchange child care for living arrangements with  no additional compensation.

Your other option is to leave the room as-is (no kitchen), find someone with experience, and give them between $50- $100 per week to watch the children in addition to their room.
