Do people do nanny shares in the suburbs?

[Anonymous]

We are planning a move later this year from the city. This seems like a silly question but our experience on the hill is everyone does nanny shares. We are moving close in Bethesda/Chevy Chase. I am wondering if this is a thing or we should consider alternative options.

Of course!

You just need to find someone who lives reasonably close to you - preferably in the same neighborhood within walk I distance.

Yes, absolutely they do. I see posts on NextDoor all the time.

Check your in-home childcare regulations. It’s illegal in Montgomery County.

Based on what? Lots of people have a nanny share.

Call up your county in-home childcare regulations office. A huge issue is insurance. No one will cover an accident for the visiting child, if the home isn’t licensed for childcare.

What the county regulations require is a separate issue from what insurance will cover. And you still haven't pointed to anything in Montgomery County that would prohibit a nanny share. I've looked through those regs for other reasons and I don't recall seeing anything on a nanny share, but I admittedly wasn't looking for that.

Nannies work in the child’s home or their own, per the above. It explicitly states that anything else other than licensed centers or home daycares are illegal.

There were three families who wanted to do a share together a few years ago. I’m sure you could find the thread if you searched for it. I called, it’s illegal for a nanny to care for more than one family at the same time.

Perhaps look more closely if you want to learn how nanny shares are illegal in Montgomery County.

Yep. They are illegal.
