[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with a lot of these comments here. You hired a live-in nanny not a live-out nanny. So if after her work hours if she is out and returns only for the working hours which is next day, why have a live-in. If she is respectful she can let you know and ask if it's okay if she could return the next day. And if you do that, that does not mean you are mothering her or she is being policed. Her job entails live-in even if she is not working during those hours. I have a live-in nanny who does the same thing. She has two nights off in a week. She can choose to be wherever on those days. I am also a single mom. The reason that I have a live-in nanny is for any sort of emergency that may occur when she is not on duty and she is a door knock away.  If I had another hand I would not have shared my privacy and home and have a live-in.

Hiring a live-in does not give you 24/7 backup care. That is something that you pay for. Sure, one of the benefits of having a live-in is that they are more readily available than a live-out, but that doesn't mean she owes you any amount of time that you aren't paying her for. Her job is to care for your kid between the hours of x-y. I'm sure that you pay a discounted rate because she is a live-in. THAT is what being a live-in means. You sound like a crazy person trying to keep your nanny locked in your basement in case you need her. [/quote]
