[quote=Anonymous]I think you are mistaking a live-in nanny for an au pair. Au pairs are part of a live-in cultural exchange program where the expectation is to treat them as an extended family member and provide them with experiences such as outings and meals with the family. A live in nanny is simply an employee that lives in your home. Outside of working hours, live in nannies will not want to hang out and it's actually better for all parties if they don't because it can be really hard for kids to understand boundaries around a live in nanny and that she isn't always "on" as an adult for them like parents are. If it's a full in law suite, wouldn't nanny have her own kitchen? Make her space conducive to self contained living. If there's no kitchen get a mini fridge, an instapot, a kitchen cart, etc. Set up a small table and chair she can eat at.[/quote]
