[quote=Anonymous]So, based on your additional information, she sounds like a former Au Pair. She is probably not working for "free". Her host family sponsored her student visa, which includes paying for her education, which is not cheap. It often works out to more costly than the Au Pair program. Also, your costs for an Au Pair are not just $200/week, it is also the $8000 program fee, which pays for their visa and similar. It works out to a total of $350/week (not including room and board), and divided by a max of 45 hrs/week= $7.75/hr which is minimum wage. So, as others said, you must pay minimum wage to a live-in- nanny, and you cannot deduct rent from it. So, figure on $350/week. The bigger issue is if you take the "nanny" from the other family, they can cancel her student visa, which they are sponsoring, student visas are non-transferable to a new family.[/quote]
