Live in or Live Out

The terms “live-in” and “live-out” refer to where a nanny resides in relation to the family they work for. Here’s a comparison to help you understand the difference and decide which might suit your needs:

Live-In Nanny

A live-in nanny lives in the family’s home, either full-time or during workdays.

Key Features:

Provided with a private room (and sometimes bathroom)

Often expected to work early mornings and evenings

May be more available for last-minute help or overnight care

Pros:

Easier for families with irregular or extended hours

Ideal for families with newborns or multiple children

Can build a close bond with the family

Cons:

Less personal privacy for the nanny and family

May require a formal contract for clear boundaries

Somewhat blurred lines between work and personal time

Live-Out Nanny

A live-out nanny lives in their own home and commutes to work.

Key Features:

Works set hours during the day (e.g., 8 AM – 6 PM)

Has a more distinct separation between work and personal life

Pros:

Clearer boundaries between work and personal time

More privacy for both nanny and family

Usually preferred in urban areas or where housing isn’t provided

Cons:

Less flexibility in emergency situations

Commute time may be a factor

May not be able to offer overnight care (unless arranged in advance)

Which One Is Better?

It depends on:

Your family’s schedule and needs

The nanny’s lifestyle and living situation

Whether housing is a benefit or a burden
