[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Would you like to live at your job site, OP?"

Well, if they were providing a nice apartment an 8 minute walk from the metro, leafy yard with a patio, grill and a swimming pool while also taking care of my largest monthly expense, then yes, you bet your rear end I would like to live at my job.

Why else are their live in Nanny's? My advertisement clearly indicated this was a live in Nanny position. If you don't want to live there, then don't apply but lets not pretend that with the cost of DC living,  that not having to pay for living expenses isn't a huge financial "pro" for anyone living within a ~30 mile radius of downtown.

From what I've read here it clearly isn't worth it to me. It will cost me tens of thousands a year less for the same quality Nanny, just to pay someone 18-20/hr and just use them for a few more hours a week.

I was young once and didn't make much money. I know what it is like,  it just floors me that in such an expensive place to live as DC, having your living expenses taken care of is of such a low value proposition for someone. I don't want to come off as "judgey" but if Nanny was the height of my career progression, I would think it would be pretty valuable. My mistake. [/quote]

You are thinking of you, someone who aspires to a life where they could afford a $2500/mo apt, eat at expensive restaurants, travel, etc..

That said, if you present the job in terms of weekly pay + benefits, you will probably find more candidates, particularly if you are open to someone married or with a child, for whom an apartment of her own would be a necessity.[/quote]
