[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the nanny. I personally would never want to be a live in nanny; sharing a house with young children is frustrating enough, not to mention sharing a bathroom, and also never really being able to get away from work, at home. However, the opportunity to live in Paris is incredibly exciting and even I, who do not want to be a live in nanny, might possibly consider it for the opportunity to live in Paris. But as I'm typing and considering that, it occurs to me that perhaps a nanny who wouldn't be a great live in nanny might say yes in this circumstance and then regret it, which would put everyone in a bad situation.

Does she have a boyfriend? if she is in a serious relationship she may not want to leave for that reason also.

I agree that French lessons or classes are a must.

Also dealing with a work at home parent is something many nannies avoid the hassle of. So not only are you asking her to become a live in nanny, you are also asking her to deal with the inconvenience of a work at home parent.

One last thing: you say it is a temporary move, but you don't say for how long. Is it six months? A year? Two years? That might need to be taken into consideration.[/quote]

These are all good points, thank you. It would be for a year. She is already fluent in French, and DH already works from home a lot of the time (he runs out to meetings but his office is in our house). [/quote]
