[quote=Anonymous]To be happy as a live in, you almost need to want to be a live in if that makes sense. If you are taking a live in job just because you are not getting other offers then chances are that you will go in with the wrong attitude. Live in positions are a great way to relocate to an expensive area or a way to save money for school or just savings.

A live in position is not a renter or even a roommate situation. You should have privacy in your own room but the rest of the shared areas don't belong to you. You may get to use them but its not your house. You can't just make yourself at home the way you would if you were equally splitting all costs with roommates. You can't have guests over. You don't get snow days though most live out nannies don't really get these either. Its harder to turn down an evening babysitting offer just because you don't want to do it and stay in your room all night. As a live out you can always just say you had other plans. You also have to maintain your professional appearance which means no smoking or stumbling around drunk if you are into those things. [/quote]
