[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is right that most live-ins simply don't have enough space. Employers should consider the reality of what they have to offer. Completely separate quarters is what you want. But how many couples think of that when buying a house?[/quote]

I'm the poster you are responding to who built out our basement specifically in mind to have separate living quarters.

I actually don't think this is on the parents.  Some nannies might be fine living in a normal basement and using the kitchen. Nannies are old enough and mature enough ( I hope!) to be able to assess a living situation. If I were interviewing and I had a REAL understanding of children, I would physically go into the sleeping quarters and ask the children to run around and make a bunch of noise. How does one not even realize that kids are noisy? I would request a separate fridge, either a mini, or a few shelves in the garage fridge.

When I go for a job interview and if they told me that I would be sharing a cubicle with another person, I would decline the job. I can't work in a space that is not my own. Someone else might have no issue with this set up. I know what conditions I can and cannot work under. I'm not sure why nannies are any different.[/quote]
