[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny share is great because the nanny is great!  She has her degree in teaching and has done shares before. We host at our house because we have a yard.  We really like the family we share with and have the same philosophies on eating, sleeping and managing an employee.  Our kids are two months apart.

We give the nanny money for food and she chooses the kids (now toddlers) menus for lunches and snacks during the week.  That way the kids are more apt to try new foods when one sees the other one liking it.  Nanny also buys art supplies and books for the kids.  The other family often brings over toys.

Initial expenses involve the other family getting a crib/pack and play for our house and both families splitting the cost of a double stroller.  We split nanny’s salary equally where we uboth need her that day or not (vacations, appointments, staying home with visiting relatives, etc).

The downside is that our family room looks like a preschool.  Nanny starts with a clean kitchen and leaves a clean kitchen but no kid’s laundry.  [/quote]
