I do have to disagree that a live in situation is only worth ~$4 less an hour. At the 50 hours a week (200 hours a month) I am requiring her services, you are saying that cost benefit of having her roof, utilities, catv (and food) etc, provided is only worth $800 a month to the Nanny.
While not every Nanny may live in a ~$2,500 apt, you aren't going to find a early 30's woman (or older) living in an apt in DC where her rent, utilities etc only cost her $800 a month.
Thanks for the input

We also have a part of the basement that we use for our family that includes a office,media room and storage. Our nanny has sleeps in one bedroom on the apartment side and we rent out the other bedroom. The nanny and tenant share the apartment common areas. We pay our nanny a flat rate of $300 a month for 40 hours of work. We offer to pay her $10 an hour for anything extra but she always does it for free and says she does not mind. She loves her room and her living quarters and we are all happy with the current situation. Maybe u could do something like this.
You pay her $300/month for 40 hours/week!!!?? or per month....?

This is illegal. Legally you have to pay employees even live in nannies minimum wage which depending on your state is typically 7.25 per hr
Your nanny should be making at the very least 290 per WEEK (again depending on your state, it could be higher ) you ca NOT take '"rent " out of that for live in nannies.
You could offer her 10 per hr but take out 2.75 per hr for her "rent " but legally she gets and keeps 7.25 per hr minus taxes of course
