There is a BIG difference between live-in and 24hr nannies. Live-in's have set hours, meaning 40-70 a week. They have a start time, and end time everyday. They can go to the gym before work, and they can go out to a happy hour after work. They are NOT responsible for the children overnight. Nightmares, sick children, and wetting the bed are left in the parents responsibility.
In a 24hr position, the nanny can't go out ever while on duty. Even if the children are great sleepers, and the parents are home. They are with the child every waking hour, and there when the children are sleeping. They are paid for every hour worked. It's a luxury that the parents never have to find or schedule childcare when they go out, and always get a restful night of sleep.
