[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm surprised so many of you nannies don't understand simple economics.

If you live in, your accommodations have a market rate that figures in your total compensation.

You will earn less per hour because you are being paid in accommodations.

How is it you fail to understand this?

If I live-in, all your hubby fights deprive me of my right to peaceful accommodations, not to mention your kid pounding your bare floors on top of me. 
You shall get no discount for that. Sorry.[/quote]

So you don't want to live in. Don't.

But the accommodations are still valuable perks in total compensation.

It doesn't matter if you don't want the perk. It is still a perk not to pay rent and everyone who lives in or employs someone who lives in knows that you earn less because you are compensated with your free rent, food, and other perks.[/quote]
I have never reduced by rates if I lived in. It'd have to be an amazing place, with no racket from you, your husband or your kids. 
When I'm done work at the end of my day, I don't care to hear you. Or on early weekend mornings, either. You just have no clue.[/quote]
