[quote=Anonymous]OP, we looked into a nannyshare and realized part way through setting up the specifics that the other family had no intention of paying taxes and doing things on the books. Which was a huge no for us because of our jobs/security clearances. Plus tax fraud is shady and the nanny isn’t protected if you aren’t paying into UI and such. So I’d advise you to make it clear to any family you plan to pair with up front that you (hopefully) intend to use a payroll service/pay taxes.

Also, keep in mind you’ll likely need a workers comp policy if you’re the host b/c many homeowners’ policies exclude household employees. I think it would be fair for both families to split the cost of this.

Make sure to figure out how families want to split food. With infants they have bottles. But before you know it they’ll be eating finger foods and snacks. Will the host family provide everything (and if so, the other family should be chipping in). Or is each family going to pack their own food items for their child?

What happens if one child is sick? Do they need to be excluded from care? How many weeks notice should be given to exit the share?

It’s these little logistics that are important to figure out up front so no one is surprised and resentful several months in. [/quote]
