What does MMM think about this nanny arrangement?

I second looking into an au pair.

My first thought is that I'd assume someone would also need another job (as you note) - because while housing would be taken care of, $500 for other expenses each month would not be enough in a majority of people's situations (paying for schooling, car, student loans, etc - the list goes on).

So do you have a hard time finding someone who would be able to have a second job with the hours you're requesting?

Have you considered an au pair? Sounds perfect except you would likely have to provide a car.

I don't think you'd have to provide a car unless school is too far to walk

I would heavily target a graduate student.

This arrangement could be majorly win win if you find the right person, but that may be tough. I'd advertise at the large university across the river from you.

Growing up we have live in nannies who worked similar hours. No housework though, just watched after us while my mom took classes or was teaching.
