[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your nanny going to come to your house an hour before you need her? And the other child will be there? And your child will not be receiving any care during that hour? But the other child will get picked up at 4:30 and your nanny will stay an extra hour?

It’s a long day for the nanny, especially if she has a commute. Is there any way you could both compromise and do 8-5? Or switch off so some days are 8-5 or you alternate days starting at 7:30 vs 8:30 but both kids are together?

Otherwise I’d say you set a rate for the overlapping hours and then each family pays for the hour their kid is solo with the nanny. Eg $15/hr per family during shared hours and $18/hr per family for the solo hour. It’s just trickier because it’ll always be at your house and you can’t ask the nanny to cover 30 min some mornings if you aren’t paying her.

As for the food, I’d tell the other family they should bring their own food. You aren’t a daycare provider.

Yeah this seems like it would be awkward with her arriving at 7:30 and the other family dropping their kid off then?  Or will the nanny go to the other family's house at 7:30 and bring him to your house at 8:30?

I agree just split down the middle- normally I think a single child vs double child rate can work but since you both need the same number of hours

I also agree that is it odd they want you to provide food- are you OK with this?  I don't think that is normal for a nanny share.  If they don't want to pack a lunch each day they should be able to bring food for the week at the start of each week but asking you to buy food fro them seems a bit much.

For wipes, diapers, diaper genie bags- figure out how many you go through in a week or month and ask them to provide the same amount.  Or keep the wipes and diapers separate for each kid.  For the diaper genie bags could also just switch off buying them when they are getting low.[/quote]
