[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under the said circumstances, she may offer you a discount. Some nannies would not. You need to ask her.[/quote]

What would be the point of doing this without a substantial discount?  She wouldn't be working any more hours, and she'd be getting free rent. [/quote]

She's also losing a lot of privacy and space.[/quote]

OP here - she actually would be gaining privacy and space.  She currently shares a small one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment with a roommate. Our house has a large bedroom/full bathroom suite on a separate level from the rest of the house.[/quote]

She is living with employer and you could call on her at any time as well as kids bothering her in her off time.  Is her space in the basement?  I ask because living in a basement is less than ideal

I am not the OP, but I have live-in care.  I can not call on her at any time.  Or at least not any more than I would if she lived out.  In both cases, she is probably the first person I would contact if there was an emergency and I needed someone to watch my kids.  However, just because she lives in does not mean that she doesn't have a schedule, or that I will go and get her if I want to take a nap.  She has the same schedule every week with as much notice as I can give her of additional babysitting in evenings or weekends, which she can accept or decline.  She isn't my personal slave.  The kids only bother her in her off time if she decides to go where they are.  They know that they aren't allowed in her room ever.  But yeah, if they are swimming, and she decides she wants to swim too, they are going to be all over her.  If they weren't, I wouldn't want her as a nanny.

I do agree that your nanny is going to want to be "paying" less in rent than she is now.  Although you will both be getting a bit of a tax break.  
Are you planning on including meals and food in this deal?  Or is it the room only?
