Live-in nanny...anyone done it?


Recommended Posts

Hi. We are considering Childcare options for when I go back to work after no2. I have a three year old also. The cost of nursery for two is eye watering, so I'm wondering if a live in nanny is comparable cost-wise. Does anyone have any experiences of a live in nanny? If so, how did you find it? Re costs, is it similar to a nanny share or much more? Our situation is complicated by the fact that my son may need surgery (possibly two) so I might need someone at home with him while he recovers from it (I would be there for a few weeks but wouldn't want him with other kids until he is well and truly healed). Any advice would be gratefully received!

Dear Shaunag and Norfolkvillas


Would you mind Pm me any information you have on live-in nannies as we are also considering this as an option as I plan to return to full time work when my son is 6 or 7 months old?


Also has anyone come across live-in options where the nanny only lives with you Monday to Friday ie so you have the house to yourselves at weekends?


Thanks in advance

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
