Yes, let them know sooner rather than later that you would like a similar living set up that you have now for the new place.

Hopefully that is possible and your bosses will look for something similar too.

It'd also be wise to keep your eyes open for a new position, in case it comes to that.

You need to be upfront about this and get it all out. Make it clear that you want to continue to be their nanny but can only consider a live-in position if you have the same set up as you do now - otherwise you will need to be live out. Yes, if you are going to be paying for your own apartment, your salary would need to be adjusted - obviously.

I never do a discount for the "privilege" of living in.

I started with my NF almost two years ago. I have set hours M-F 7-6 and I live in their basement apartment. I have an exterior entrance and essentially my own apartment on their property. They're talking about moving to another location in the city in the next 6-8 months which I wouldn't have a problem with BUT I'd want similar living space. It's not so much about the space as it is the separation from the family.

Do I express that early, even before the decision of a for sure move is made? I'm not sure it would even dawn on them that I wouldn't be up to living in the 4th bedroom of their 4 bedroom house.

Also, anyone started as a live in then moved out and continued to work with the family? If so, salary should be adjusted as I would start paying for my cost of living.

How would you all handle this?
