[quote=Anonymous]OP, you made the choice to employ a live-in so therefore you will have to make some serious compromises here.

As a live-in, she is living in your home meaning your home is now HER home as well. She isn't just a houseguest, correct? So after she finishes her work day, then I think she is entitled to hang out in the common area(s) and do what she likes. It would be unfair to ask her to go to her room and/or limit her to only a small portion of your home.

And since she had the kids all day long, she is no longer responsible if they act up and/or get in to anything. She is no longer "on the clock" so do not expect her to be your ears and eyes all the time just because she is around.

That is pure nonsense.

Tell your kids that after such and such time, the nanny/housekeeper is technically off duty, so she is no longer responsible for them. It is now her time to relax and if they need anything, they are to ask you. If they hurt themselves, then it is YOUR responsibility, not HERS.

I think you want her around for convenience, mostly your own only.

I mean...You obviously are already getting a great deal from her. You are not paying her any overtime pay.

What more do you want??
