[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True, I get that to a certain extent but it would simply make much more sense for me to continue to rent out the apartment and just pay more for a live out Nanny as you said.

I do have to disagree that a live in situation is only worth ~$4 less an hour. At the 50 hours a week (200 hours a month) I am requiring her services, you are saying that cost benefit of having her roof, utilities, catv (and food) etc,  provided is only worth $800 a month to the Nanny.

While not every Nanny may live in a ~$2,500 apt, you aren't going to find a early 30's woman (or older) living in an apt in DC where her rent, utilities etc only cost her $800 a month.

Thanks for the input[/quote]

No, you aren't getting it.  Nanny may not choose to live in DC and choose to commute in.  Or, have a roommate.  The value you place on your apartment is different than someone else might choose.    Also, what do you define as food?  Are you giving her a few hundred a month ($300+) so she can choose her own food or do you expect her to eat what is provided?  Most people want the freedom to grocery shop and choose their own food.  Not everyone cares about cable - you may have it and offer it but many people don't have cable and use netflix or hulu plus or other service that is much cheaper.

Offer a fair wage and cover the wage by continuing to rent out the apartment.  Also, not everyone will be ok living above you garage - I would not want the fumes from the car or the noise of you opening/closing it constantly. [/quote]
