[quote=Anonymous]We currently have an au pair who is leaving in a few months, and we're toying with the idea of getting a live-in nanny to replace her, but we're wondering what this would cost, and how the pay arrangement works. We have a basement bedroom and bathroom for the nanny, who would then also have access to the rest of the house and kitchen. Should we try to figure out what the going rate would be if we were to rent the room? and then subtract that amount from weekly or monthly pay? We're looking for someone to watch a newborn and 3 year old around 40 hours a week. The 3 year old is in preschool 5 half days a week. We were thinking we would pay $16-18/hour and then ask for $500/month in rent. Is this reasonable? Should we charge more for rent? We live in kensington close to the marc train and a little over a mile from forest glen metro. Are there other considerations we need to think about? Thanks![/quote]
