[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who in their right mind would pay $1300 per month for a BASEMENT apartment? I pay less than that for my 2 bedroom apartment, 15 minutes away from my job, and it comes with the wonderful benefit of not living with my boss.

With your plans to severely reduce your LI nanny's rate, because you want her to pay you for a super expensive apartment that she otherwise probably wouldn't rent, and for the privilege of living with her employers, I doubt you will find anyone. You would have to luck into someone who was somehow 1)A decent nanny 2)Willing to be a live in 3)Not very bright, and dumb enough to go into this without the protection of a lease, and 4)Willing to pay you $1300/month, in either reduced wages or rent money, to live with you with absolutely no benefit to her.

Good luck with that![/quote]

There is absolutely no way you live in the DC area. Or do you mean your share of renting a 2 bedroom is less than 1300? [/quote]

I live in Greenbelt. My husband and I pay $1200 for our 2 bedroom. What OP is proposing just makes no sense financially or otherwise from a nanny's perspective. [/quote]

That's so cute. You think your prices outside the beltway are comparable to those living near a metro? 
With metro access, $1300/month is cheap for a basement apt. [/quote]

Its you who is "cute". I can walk to the metro, it takes me 15 minutes to get to work, AND I don't have to live in my employer's basement. Once again, there is no reason for any nanny with a brain to take OPs "deal." You idiot snobs in DC can't get your heads out of your assess long enough to see that what you're paying to live there is obscene. [/quote]
