[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 11:06 and 12:18.  I wasn't considering it from the nanny's perspective and I can see how a basic package wouldn't be all that attractive to a nanny, but wow - if live-in nannies are paid $11/hour plus board, all food, utilities, car use, paid car insurance, gas, gym membership and cell bill, where do I sign up?  I cannot imagine why anyone would have a live-in nanny and offer all that.  What would be the incentive of basically paying just a few thousand less a year on what is costing almost $40k for a live-in?[/quote]

For people who have unconventional or long work schedules a quality live in is a perfect situation. You are not paying her rent because thats part of your mortgage, allowing her use of the your second car, adding her to your phone plan, car insurance and getting a cheap gym membership isn't going to break your bank. That's less than $300 extra a month (assuming she doesn't have a horrible driving record). So the cost savings is significant. Who wants to live with their employers if there isn't some type of advantage? The employer does save a significant amount and the room and board balances out the lower income. Basically the nanny should be taking home the same amount she would after paying all her bills if she were a live out.

There are plenty of agencies that can find a nanny with great references and education a position like the one i mentioned. Some even come with more vacation than whats standard.[/quote]
