We are exploring childcare options for our two upper primary DCs. One possible candidate would like to live in and while we have the space I had never considered it before because we only need 30-35 hours a week, rather than the usual 50-60 worked by live in nannies.
What would you say is a good rate for someone experienced but who does not have much English? Hours could be arranged to allow her to find a morning job elsewhere if she wanted.
Also, what do live in nannies do when the family is away?
