Listener’s Question:

Dear What The Nanny Heard,

I am looking for a new job and I have found a live-in job that I really like. I have met with the parents and children and I think I will be offered the job soon. I am only really wanting to live-in to save some money to get a deposit on my own property.

This family are looking for a long term Nanny and I am looking for a long term job. But I would really like to only live-in for a couple of years. How do I speak to them about potentially going to live-out whilst I am working there without rocking the boat?
