[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t accept less than $20 an hour as a live in [/quote]

Very minimum. Nannies still have to provide personal products, preferred food, health care, and much more. Also, I personally wouldn't find living in with a family as a perk, rather something I'd put up with. [/quote]

It's a great perk not to have to come up with your own housing costs. [/quote]

On the flip side, it is a great inconvenience to have to put up with your brats 24/7, no privacy, and employer who expects you to be available at all hours.  Only a fool would LIKE TO.[/quote]

What children have you been caring for that are awake 24/7?[/quote]

Your children don’t make a peep between 8pm and 8am?  No nightmares, no getting sick, no early morning wake ups?  You don’t walk around or talk to your spouse between 8am and 8pm?

I made a list of things that have happened to wake me up on my day off.  I stopped at 30, and that was all in the last year!  I don’t get bent out of shape, and I don’t resent my nf, but I’m super clear when I’m negotiating that there are pros and cons for everyone in this situation.  Losing sleep and privacy are my two biggest things, followed closely by providing my own food with certain families.

I only work with families that actually NEED a live in nanny.  Those families are less likely to try to “deduct” room and board.  If the position requires live in, you can’t deduct.  It’s that simple.[/quote]
