[quote=Anonymous]We have a full time live out manny.

1. If we are looking for someone full time (to come in at 8 a.m. and leave around 6 p.m.)- what should we expect will be a fair pay. You figure pay based on hourly pay generally, and that's based on how much education and experience they have plus how many kids you have.
2. We have the option of providing housing for our full time nanny. We have a complete separate fully stocked/furnished private english basement. If we have a live-in, what should we anticipate the cost will be? We live in Mount Pleasant. When you have a live-in, the salary goes down since they don't need to pay rent. 
3. How do you work around the hours when someone in a live-in. I would assume you work them the same way as live-out. 
4. If we live close to parks etc, would we need our nanny to have a driver's license, and drive our LO around? Nobody wants to be stuck inside the house all day every day, especially when they're at someone ELSE'S house. 
5. Can we expect that our nanny will also do light housework? Is this extra? We have a housekeeper currently who comes in twice a week. If by "light housework" you mean doing the baby's laundry and cleaning up after the baby's meals, and cleaning up the baby's toys, then yes. If you mean vacuuming your house and mopping floors and dusting and washing a sinkful of last night's dishes when they come in the morning, no. 
6. If we wanted additional help like a night nurse a few nights a week, what should we expect in terms of costs.
7. When should I start interviewing for next May? Is May when the baby is going to be born or when you have to go back to work? I started looking about six weeks before I needed the person to start. 
8. Is it better to use an agency?  I think so.[/quote]
