[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read through ALL of the replies and I know this thread is YEARS old but if you want to have a chance at finding a GOOD live-in nanny who will last you will do your live-in situation the right way. The GOOD nannies know what's up. Any legitimate nanny agency will tell you that a live-in nanny gets their agreed upon, which is for sure NOT less than a typical rate PLUS "free" room and board. Please people, nobody is paying to live where they work 24/7. If you do this situation ANY other way you are walking into a bad situation. You can cut corners all you want, but I have seen way too many children who were ruined by their parents hiring cheap help. Value your children people! I have worked for over 150 families have 75 5 star reviews from families and have spoken to and received feedback from many more in their search for childcare about their experiences. I have 7 straight years of experience of talking about, learning about, doing, and experiencing this topic first hand.[/quote]

You have worked for 150 families as a live-in nanny?!  Try again.[/quote]

No NOT as a live-in nanny. I NEVER said my 150 families were from that. I was giving you context of my experience, which does actually of course INCLUDE being a live-in nanny among many other things. 100% I am kind of the most desired childcare giver in America at this point. lol I come with the most reviews/references you will ever find plus many other things that families love. I put in the work. I have had conversations with HUNDREDS of families over 8 years(sorry I realized I mispoke the first time...time flies) and I always make sure to get their feedback as well as having actually stepped into homes for a night or a day where I know the families have a regular nanny during the week. I can actually tell pretty well how much people pay their weekday nanny by how their kids have turned out/been trained...not trained. It's up to each parent really. You wanna pay cheap? Don't be upset when the results are cheap. Btw, one of my live in situations I was given a whole 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment in one of the most desirable and expensive cities in America. I was hired from across the country and the family had turned down many many folks before me.  I don't know what your "try again" is about. I'm the one over here getting paid $50/hr+ from people I've just met...for sleeping children.[/quote]

....and I was paid an actual REAL rate on top of my "free" 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. It's really simple though. Nanny agencies take on legitimate nannies and nanny agencies will tell you what I just said. That it is "free" rent and board plus an actual rate(you shouldn't be paying your nannies by "salary" and legit nannies will know this.)To start, if you aren't hiring from a nanny agency, your expectations should already be adjusted. Eventually decent nannies go to agencies because they get tired of parents with no regulations trying to scam them. lol So they filter themselves out of your non-agency searches. Unless you are talking MONEY money. Then good nannies can also be found through word of mouth when they're not needed anymore by their original families for whatever reasons.[/quote]

While I agree with portions of what you said, no nanny brags about 150 families in 8 years.  Most nannies have at most three families in a year, and that’s only if they do shares, temp jobs or are part-time.  It makes you said like a clueless sitter and undermines our argument.[/quote]
