I'm sorry, OP - you were absolutely mislead. Think of it as having dodged a bullet and move on to a better family.

So then just take the apartment and sublease it and pocket the money! It's not that hard.


Or just run because this employer obviously doesn't consider what a live out nanny needs to survive. She should be strictly searching for nannies who want to live in.


You sound really petty.


And you're petty for feeling like you need to point that out.


At least you made me feel justified in feeling you are petty by continuing on like this.

This is senseless. I'm almost sure the employers would not be okay with the nanny subleasing the place.

I explain that I have my own house and I am only searching for a live out position.

So, as a live out, they would only offer 9.50 an hour but can offer me an apartment to bump my "compensation". Uh, no!

She is also searching for a college educated nanny who wants to be a career nanny. How is $9.50 a career?

I am so disappointed and find their profile misleading and deceptive. I thanked them for their time but said that there was no need for the interview to continue because I cannot accept that "salary".



$9.50 an hour isn't bad when you don't have $1500 going toward rent every month.

In that case, I've got a great job for you.

I've never heard of rent costs being included in the package. You're either a live in which typically is less than a live out. And. It sounds like she needs to just look for a live out.

Amazing. I am sorry that some parents can be that insane.

This is why we need refs on them before wasting so much time.
