[quote=Anonymous]I was a live-in once and won't ever do it again. The family that I worked for was truly amazing but I just felt like their were more "negatives" then positives. My nanny suite was in their basement which I thought would be great since it was private from the family but the kitchen was above my room and oh my god the amount of noise that I would hear every night, morning and weekends drove me insane. All I wanted to do on a Saturday morning was sleep in a bit and I'd be woken up to stomping above my head at 7am every morning. Another thing was that the todder's playroom was also in the basement and there were MANY weekends where he would come knocking at my door asking me to play with him. My bosses did tell him that he was to not bother me but 2 1/2 year olds tend to not listen very much! Another thing was that I didn't have a walk out so for me to leave, I had to go upstairs to leave and there were times when I would be about to leave and MB would be home by herself and the baby would be crying while she was trying to get the toddler to nap and I would just feel bad leaving and would take the baby for her so she could get the toddler to sleep so I felt like a lot of the times on the weekends, I was "working" for a bit. As far as visitors, that family actually told me that I was more then welcome to have guests over on my off time but not having a walk out made it just seem really awkward for me. I didn't mind having friends come over but I don't think I ever would have been able to have a guy come over as I would have been parading him through there house to get him into my room![/quote]
