[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am hosting a nanny share.  I feel like I need to pay for toys, diaper bags, and whatever the nanny needs during the day.  In return, I get the convenience of not driving my baby to someone else's house and back home every day.  The babies are turning into toddlers and we need to start feeding them lunch.  We agreed to split the cost of food.  Do I need to pay for and buy the other baby's high chair?  [/quote]

Ignore the previous poster - nanny share is a very smart childcare option during the pandemic.

I have been both the traveling family and the host family (currently host). There are pros and cons to both, so I don’t think you “owe” the other family things like diapers. In both my shares, the host family provided anything the kids would both use, and that you’d probably have anyway. So - toys, child proofing equipment, baby dishes, etc. Stuff that gets used up, like diapers, wipes, formula and food, each family brought their own for their own baby. Things that were very specifically for the other baby (like the pack n play for naps) we’re provided by her parents. We split the cost of a double stroller - that’s the only thing owned jointly.

So - for a high chair. If the babies will share one (that’s the case in our share, as they’re on slightly different schedules), they should use yours that you buy and provide. If they will eat at the same time and need a second one, it’s be great if you had like a little travel one the other could use. But if one needs to be purchased, the other family should do so.
