What is a live-in position?

A live-in position refers to a job where the employee resides at their place of work, often in the employer’s home or on-site accommodations. These roles are common in caregiving, nanny, housekeeping, and property management jobs. Live-in positions usually include room and board as part of the compensation package, and may involve flexible or extended working hours. This arrangement can provide cost savings and convenience for both the employer and employee, but it may also blur the boundaries between work and personal time.
