[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. Our experience in hiring live-ins is that most of the top candidates see living-in during the week as a benefit for us (not them) convenience-wise and require the same compensation as a live-out. [/quote]

It is a benefit for you.  [b]A live in should be paid more, not less, for lack Of privacy and, essentially, on 24/7 call.[/b][/quote]

It can be of mutual benefit with the right person. You should not have to pay more but you may have to pay the same. Our live-in is not on-call during her off hours and she leaves every Friday at her usual time to spend the weekend with her family.[/quote]

OP, eating your food is debatable.  Are you willing to provide food that the nanny can eat?  Just saying that they can eat what you have isn't enough, not if they have things that they can't eat.

M-F 11.30-6, an extra hour and a half once per month, childcare.  Grocery shopping, meal prep, laundry and dishes would be done in the morning, so actual work hours are full time.  Nannies start when they pick up the vehicle, not when they pick up the child, so 15 minutes to get to the school and sit in line/park and walk inside.  You should be fine with 10am-6pm, and the late Tuesday would be 11.30am-7.30pm.

For 40 hours per week, and the list of things to be accomplished in an hour and a half, you might find someone to take the position for $400 per week, but you'll have better candidates at $600+.

I'm not sure why you want a live-in, as your schedule is definitely within the realm of normal for a live-out nanny.[/quote]
