Anyone searching for a live-in nanny?

Answer

I was a live in nanny for about a year until the family moved states. I loved it. Think of the job more like being a personal assistant than being just a nanny. If the pay is right and you're firm with what days you have off then you should go for it. Don't judge the mother, at least she cares enough to hire someone when she knows she can't be there 100%. Sometimes women have kids and realize they're not emotionally capable of being 100% but if they have the money then that makes it a lot easier for the kids. Sometimes the parents have demanding careers. Their business.

Answer

I work in a daycare but I'd rather be a nanny lol 
I was offered but she wanted me to take her kids to school, go clean her entire house spotless while they were gone. She wanted me to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. She then wanted me to help with homework, bathe them and put them to sleep at night. She wanted me to take care of her dog too. 
Like when do your kids ever see their mother? Why don't I just adopt them. 
The pay she was offering was intense. Like, damn. But I want to be a nanny, built in baby sitter. Not built in "replacement mom."

Answer

I have been a nanny for 5 years. Never a live in but pretty much a live in before. My advice to you is pay her fairly. I live in California so pricing maybe different then where you live but I charge a minimum of $15 an hour for one child including housework and errands but I'm sure that you could change that because she would be living in your home for free but make it so she can have money to save and buy her own things. I've seen a lot of people try to trade living for child care and it works for the parents but for the nanny it's hard because they still need to afford their own bills as well!
