[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not to be rude, but it is NOT 'free rent' when the nanny is working. Just a pet peeve that I can't stand...

Sure it is. It's a benefit, like any other, and is considered in the compensation package offered to a nanny.[/quote]

No, most of the time money is deducted from overall pay rate to "cover" the cost of room and board. If someone is paying full rate like they would for a live-out nanny (not reducing pay), then it would be free rent. But most people that would tell you they are paying full rate, are already paying on the low end of the scale.[/quote]

Agreed, I think the whole idea of a "Live In Nanny" is a misnomer anyway. Work is an exchange, money for labor. If you want a "Live In Nanny" that means you want a Nanny who is there all the time - that is, one who does not leave - that is, one who does whatever you want their whole day. Then, to make things worse, they don't want to pay for that.. They just want the labor, without giving the money, and think that having you being there all the time is some kind of benefit to you, as though you being there to answer every whim all day, is somehow equivalent to being at your own home watching Jeopardy, or going out for dinner without asking permission. Sounds good if you have no opportunity to do that anyway, but beyond that, it's just a bad deal for the Nanny. [/quote]

Sounds like a paid SAHM but on a low salary. No thanks. [/quote]
