[quote=Anonymous]Likely a salary issue. I fit the demographics you mentioned on my first 2 nanny positions and made $17 in the first and $20 in the second for 35-40 hours/week. Also sick/vacation/holidays and health insurance contribution. I stayed until I was no longer needed. Live in typically commands 2-3/hr less than that candidate could make living out. Assuming we averaged my pay at 18.5- I made 740/wk. assume a 2.5/hr decrease for living in and it becomes 640/wk. No matter how you dice it most people aren't going to want to give up $800-1000/mo to live in your house with you- an apartment or even apt w/ roommate is a more desirable and equally affordable option. Most of us would sacrifice location before privacy and always feeling "on." Maybe an au pair would be a better solution for you?[/quote]
