Subject: Re:Can someone explain to me how a live-in nanny situation works?
Our live-in nanny is working at very well and she constantly says she is very happy. Our home is fairly large and she lives in the 1800 sq ft basement apartment with its own kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. I pay for her electricity, water, internet, cable TV, and allow her 16 year old daughter to have her own bedroom with private bathroom on our second floor.
The way our contract is worded is she makes $500 a month. We were paying her $1600 but she would have to then immediately pay her landlord $1300 for her place and pay for all her utilities.
Now, we save money on childcare, she has more money left over after rent and utilities and I even allow her to babysit another child in my home (complete with legal agreement signed by the other parent for legal protection).
Our nanny is awesome and is more like a member of the family than a nanny. She is not restricted to the basement apartment and can use our kitchen and backyard fire-pit/pool anytime she wants.
If she ever said she didn't like the arrangement, I would sit down and see what we could come up with to make everyone happy, but once it becomes considerably cheaper (not just cheaper) to hire outside care, she will lose her job and her place to stay. I would of course allow her several months to relocate and probably help her move both financially and with loading her things.
Some nannies are great people. Some nannies are absolutely useless. The person on here that keeps going on about how terrible live-in arrangement are or how live-in requirements are somehow "discrimination" is obviously not educated enough to know why they are wrong and not someone you want watching your child anyway.

"Live-out nannies need NOT apply."
Most parents do not demand the nanny live in. The only ones that "demand" it are those that advertise a live-in position.
Exactly. When they say live-in, they don't want to talk with live-outs. They want to keep you under their nose, and control.
So when they say, "principals only", do you think they like to discriminate against agencies?
Who cares?
Exactly. Who cares if an ad doesn't apply to you? You move on!
Legalized discrimination. Thanks.
Wow. You are being deliberately obtuse.
Don't you like how you're allowed to discriminate against nannies?
Who else is forced to pass up a potential job, just because of where she wants to lay her head at night?
No one. No. One.
Anyone whose work requires travel or other work arrangments (like cruise ships, oil rigs, nurses, doctors etc.) You seem very unaware of the world around you.
All those workers do their stints and then go home. No employer has a right to demand that their workplace IS their "home." You seem super stupid today.
Breathe, pp. Breathe.
Can your boss fire you if you don't want to live at your place of work?

Aren't you discriminating against Spanish speakers right now? Oh.. no. No. NO!!! Lolz.
+1. It is a big plus to us if the nanny has somewhere else to live on the weekend.
Wouldn't you want the nanny to sleep at her own place every night, if she wanted to?

Haven't you heard? Some employers are "uncomfortable" if a nanny has her own place at all. Why do you think they want only a Spanish speaker for a newborn? Duh.

You are absolutely right! The host family will take advantage of you.
