[quote=Anonymous]Honestly nanny shares are a lot of work. You hit on the emotional labor with another family but there is also a lot of managerial time spent dealing with your employee. And remember, they aren’t like an employee at work, they watch your child so it’s not as easy to make decisive decisions. For instance, we’ve had issues with requesting extra time off to visit their home country. They were fine with it being unpaid but we still needed coverage. Now I risk disappointment in the nanny who wants to see her aging mom or find backup care. The employer side of me says, you didn’t use your PTO wisely so no, but the side that knows she watches my DD always wants to give in. Also, you have to determine with the other family who is the decision maker or the nanny can play you off each other. If you can’t afford a full time nanny, I’d do daycare. It was actually a welcome change and took a lot of stress off our plate. [/quote]
