> When people ask my opinion about hiring nannies I constantly have to show how things they think are perks (live in, free tickets to go places with the kids) don’t actually hold much value as perks.
Off topic: I understand thinking housing would be valued by employees, but do people honestly think that tickets to children’s activities are valuable to caretakers? Like even if someone would value the activity in their off hours, which seems like a big if, surely the parents understand that it’s not a leisure activity when you’re watching small children?
Switch “watching children” with “working as an assistant” and you’ll see why I don’t think travel /activity expenses is at all a valuable payment method, even to people who would otherwise enjoy those activities.
