[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a long time live in nanny.  I debated very long and hard about whether or not to do it and on balance, it has been great.

The pros are the nanny is always there - never calls in sick or can't make it due to snow.  She has helped in 2 emergencies over the past many years that were sort of outside her hours (which we later paid her for).  She is flexible, she knows my kids, she is good with them and helps with many things that another nanny might not since she also lives in my house.

Cons are that she lives with us - another person around and she takes up my guest room, which I can't use for guests.

I would say on balance it's easy and we did a really really good job upfront about rules and expectations. She is also a pretty private and introverted person so she isn't super chatty all the time.  If she wanted to talk all the time, I think I would go crazy.

She is very respectful and it's worked out well for us and the kids and her.[/quote]

You sound resentful that she takes up your guest room and you can't use it for guest not to mention ungrateful.[/quote]
