[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legally, if she is living in for your convenience you don't deduct anything from her wages. If she is living in for her convenience you can deduct around $135 a week if you are providing living space and 3 meals a day 7 days a week.

If her rate is $25-30, offer $25. The last thing you want, I assume, is for her to have to leave because she isn't making enough to support herself and her child.[/quote]

Nanny is getting free rent.  Assuming this arrangement is mutually beneficial, I would start negotiating at $18 an hour.  [/quote]

Nanny will be "on call" all week long. 24/5 workdays cancel out the need to pay rent, especially when nanny will be paying her own utilities and buying her own food.

The OP is having nanny live in for OP's benefit. Legally, she cannot charge nanny rent under those circumstances. And offering a nanny $18/hour so that you can call her to come work around the clock when her normal rate starts at $25/hour is truly a horror story job waiting time happen.

OP, whatever pay rate you offer, be sure that you pay for every month nuts nanny works. Being on call will be challenging if this nanny has a daughter attending elementary school. Look at your budget, and offer a fair rate that allows nanny to pay her bills and allows you to give raises and bonuses. [/quote]
