I live in Northern VA- incase this matters- I do not need anyone to drive or take care of the kids in the day time-also how do you break up the hours-I do not want a slave and I know people need their time also-so hour many hours does a live in work and do they work weekends?

How much is it worth to you to have someone do these things for you. I would say a minimum of $750-$1000 per month. You would pay any good daycare at least $500 per month. Plus you are asking a live in to cook and clean. Providing living accommodations reduces what you would need to pay in salary, but you also want to make the salary attractive enough that you can attract people you would actually want taking care of your kids and living in your house.
As far as hours of work, you should probably sit down before hand and decide what you would like this person to do. Do you want them to be responsible for cooking every meal 5 days a week, do you just want them to do breakfast and/or dinner and then keep the house clean. If you don't need anyone to drive or take care of the kids during the day, why do you need a live-in? Do you work nights and want the kids to be on a normal schedule? You don't necessarily need to give weekends off, but you need to figure on giving regular time off - probably on your days off.

I pay $250.00 a week but I do have a little one 2 years that is with her all day. SHe does not cook only picks up and does Laundry. She usually works 5-6 hours a day and only 5 days a week. In your case since she would cook and if she would work more than 6 hours I think the same pay $250.00 a week.

I would go to a local agency and find out what they would charge you, and make offers (not to agency employees) of 65-75% of that amount when you start interviewing privately. You don't want to pay more than what is fair (no one is going to say "I can't accept that much") but you want to offer enough to get the quality of care you need. You can also get the answers to the hours and weekend issues.

what proportion hours? I do relatives daycare and that i will charge $5.sixty 5/hour/newborn. despite the fact that our government helps the mothers and dads and helps pay maximum of this. i think of $3 hundred is life like.. in case you artwork no extra beneficial than 3hrs after college.. and a pair of hours previously college. Does she assume you to stay there in the time of the day and do the cooking, cleansing etc? if so.. *sighs* i'ld ask her what she thinks is life like.. you under no circumstances comprehend she might say 350/4 hundred/week

An employment agency that supplies nannies and housekeepers would be able to give you a ball park figure. Ask around at those agencies because it is your geographical area that will be unique (unlike New York, for example.)

The Employment Commission in your area could tell you what the market is for that where you are. It could differ highly from state to state.
Yes, I would give a live-in the weekends off.

$20 and up per hour. You can tell them what you want if they agree then you get to work your hours.
