What You Need to Know about Hiring a Live-In Nanny

If you are considering hiring a live-in nanny, it is important to consider what tasks you will need the person to handle as well as what kind of schedule you and your family keep. If the head or heads of your household work long hours or are extremely busy, you may be looking for someone who offers nanny housekeeper services, which can include everything from dusting and mopping to taking care of the family laundry and cooking meals. You also may simply want a live-in nanny who only takes care of the children. In addition, you can also consider a part-time nanny who does not live in your home but who can be available at specific times throughout the week to provide nanny housekeeper services.

A live-in nanny housekeeper often will receive paid vacations and holidays, as well as other benefits such as health insurance, and a salary that corresponds with the level of nanny housekeeper services being offered. If you are going to hire a live-in nanny, you will be providing room and board in addition to a salary and therefore will need to have a private bedroom and bathroom available, whether it is in a finished basement, for example, or in a separate guest house. In addition, most families will make available a vehicle for the nanny's use.

Remember that even though the nanny lives in your home, he or she should only be expected to work five to six days and 40 to 60 hours a week; should have regular time off, including nights and weekends; and should not be expected to be on call 24/7. If you require babysitting or nanny housekeeper services outside of these parameters, or if you wish your nanny to travel with you on a family vacation, you should always give several days' notice and be flexible in finding alternatives if your nanny is not available.
