[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12-15 per hr. But really depends on duties and hours worked. It’s not just a dollar amount, it’s the whole package.[/quote]

You pay for the inconvenience, lack of privacy that a nanny has to endure as a live-in.  A live-in is a convenience for lazy parents.  No less than $18/hr depending on experience.[/quote]

Lower rates for live-ins reflect the major benefit to the nanny of not having to pay for housing, food, utilities etc. It's a lower rate but probably works out to the same amount that the nanny has left after all her expenses are paid.

The poster with a $500/week live-in nanny is of course underpaying but consider that this nanny can easily save close to 100% of her pay since most of her basic costs have been eliminated. [/quote]

Irrelevant.

You can legally deduct room and board if the nanny is given a choice to live-in or live-out AFTER accepting the position.  If it’s a condition of the position, you can’t deduct.[/quote]

Oh believe me, it's very relevant.

Legally, you can offer whatever package you like, and it's up to the nanny to accept it of not.  I've hired three live-in nannies over the last eleven years.  They were all extremely aware of the fact that a live-in situation saves them major money on housing, utilities and food. [/quote]
