Who should consider a live-in nanny?
Often families make the mistake of thinking of a live-in nanny as being a person that is available at their beck and call 24 hours per day, seven days per week. That would not normally be the case. Whether the nanny is live-in or live-out, they are available to the family for whatever schedule the two of you agree on. If you need the nanny available to you 24 hours per day then you need to be willing to pay for that availability. And you should strongly consider a live-in. When you consider your nanny’s schedule and availability you should realize that it is their job, and no one wants to work all the time.
