The Truth About Live-In Staff: What No One Tells You

Offering housing to your household team may sound generous—but the reality of managing live-in staff is far more complex than it seems. From blurred boundaries to legal risks, live-in staff arrangements can create long-term complications for both the employer and the employee.

In this video, I share the hard truths and behind-the-scenes insight you won’t find in a job description. We’ll cover contracts, personal boundaries, privacy issues, and what to do when it’s time for someone to move out.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Why “free housing” isn’t actually free
✔️ The emotional and logistical challenges of live-in employment
✔️ What must go in your contract (but often doesn’t)
✔️ Healthier alternatives and when to say no
