Yes, I've been keeping the nanny in the conversation to make sure she is comfortable with the arrangement.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I agree that it'll be easier if the hours are the same. I will have to see if the other family can shift from 8-5. That's easier than having to figure out who pays the nanny for the extra hour for a single child in the morning and the afternoon at the single child rate, which is more costly.

I also think it might be simpler to have the other family pack lunch. Their son eats veggies, ours doesn't, so to buy veggies just for the other child is a hassle. It's just a pain to have the nanny prepare broccoli for one kid and something else for the other.

If this doesn't work out with this family, then we'll need to find another family that is a better fit schedule-wise. Again, Thank you!
Hi, We currently have a nanny watching our 2 sons (5 and 2). My 5 year old will be going to K in Sept (private school: in person with the option of online), so we are considering doing a nanny share with my littlest. Our hours are 8:30 to 5:30, however the other family needs 7:30 - 4:30. The other family's son is also 2 years old. How would you split the cost of the nanny in this situation?

We will be hosting the other child at our house and the other family would like us to provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, milk. How would you recommend estimating a weekly food contribution? How about cost of arts and craft supplies and other incidental expenses? Diaper genie bags, wipes, etc.

Thanks in advance!
I'm also interested to hear more recent family feedback of Le Petite over the last year.

When I visited and did a tour in the beginning of 2016, all the kids (toddlers and above) were happy. Some even came up to be with a big smile and gave me a hug.

I do have to say that I did not like the infant room. I did notice some babies were just sitting in the jumper or laying on the floor or propped up on a boppy pillow looking like zombies. There were so unengaged and they looked completely bored. For that reason I wanted to wait until my son was older and at least in the toddler class room. I'm still considering Le Petite. Can any moms and dads provide more recent feedback? Thanks!
