[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, there is a lot of ignorance on this thread. Of course you make a lower hourly rate as a live in. The live in accommodations are part of the compensation.

You are paid adequately for what you do, OP, but it sounds like you have mismatched expectations with your employer. Since you like them, I'd consider giving generous notice, but it looks like you need and want a different job.

Let them know when you are at the stage of accepting a new job.[/quote]
Would you consider live-in digs an attractive perk at your job? If you lived in the slums, perhaps. Many nannies do come from upper middle class, so your assumption is erroneous. Plus, most prefer a little space away from work and can afford it.[/quote]

If you would prefer to have space away from work then don't take a job as a live-in.  It's as simple as that.  Most live-in nannies do so because they want to and therefore the compensation includes the accommodations.  We just hired a new nanny and have been looking at both live-in and live-out applicants.  There generally is no overlap.  Ultimately we hired a live-in and she PREFERRED to be a live-in.  We advertised both the live-in and live-out rate we are paying so she knew that what we were offering for a live-out was more money but she said she would rather be a live-in and understands the difference in pay is because as a live-in she gets room and board.[/quote]
