[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PPs that you need to pay minimum wage, OP.  25 hours * $15/hour = $375.

I also agree that the amount for which you can rent the space is irrelevant.  There is a maximum that you can deduct for room and board IF the nanny is offered a choice of living in or out, and you want to specifically find a live in nanny.  No choice, no deduction.

You won’t find a live-in nanny for $375, unless the way the hours are structured allows them to attend classes or have another job.  If you’re looking for 8-1 m-f or 2 ten hour days and a five hour day that are consistently the same every week, it can work.  If you want a flexible schedule and/or you want hours in the middle of the day (12-5 m-f), it won’t work.

So!  If you really want to go with a live-in nanny, set your schedule carefully.  Advertise $400/week and guarantee it every week.  Don’t try to deduct anything.  And contact an agency who has a pool of live-in nannies, because otherwise you’ll need to interview a LOT of nannies to find one willing to accept that salary with your situation.[/quote]
