[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone, OP here again.

In answer to the questions about my degree, I did psych with a math minor. I've actually been thinking about getting a teaching credential at some point which is part of what makes me wonder if working as a nanny for a while wouldn't be a bad idea. Has anyone here gone from being a nanny to a teacher. Was it helpful experience?

It seems that most people are pretty down on the idea of living-in and doing housekeeping. Can I ask, specifically, what the issues are with living in? Besides the obvious, I guess, of having less privacy. Not having a monthly rent payment to worry about actually seems kind of tempting, especially since I'd like to save up money of the next year or two. I'm fine with doing some housekeeping, I guess, since I wouldn't have much else to do while the kids are at school, but I certainly wouldn't want to make a career of it.

The details of the job are the following:
They're offering $500 per week. They're a little sketchy about specific hours and say they'd like me to be "flexible" but that it should usually be "around 40 hours" and that they'll pay extra for weekend babysitting. For the rest of the summer it would entail looking after the kids, taking them to their activities, and running occasional errands with them. Once they're all in school I'd help get them ready for school, then do housework for a few hours while they are at school (MB says she thinks I'll have a lot of downtime during the day, still) and then caring for the kids until MB and DB get home for dinner.

Does this seem reasonable? Is it sketchy or normal to not be paid by the hour? The job also includes room and board (food). The room is a basement bedroom with its own bathroom, its own small living room area, and its own door to the outside.[/quote]
