We are in NWDC and looking for a nanny share for our infant. We found a very experienced nanny (15+ years, 8 years with most recent family) who comes highly recommended. She has a 6 month old and is interested in a share with another family + her kiddo. We would host, which is convenient for us as I WFH and it would allow me to nurse and our kid would be able to sleep in his room etc. She is requesting 18-20$/hour. There are some clear benefits since we don’t have to work out logistics with another family per se but we’re new to this so I’m seeking advice from those with more experience with nanny shares.
1. Is this a reasonable hourly rate? I have seen lower rates on this forum $14-17/hour/family for nanny shares but understand that we will be her only income.
2. Do folks have concerns about this arrangement in terms of fairness - (likelihood that her kid receive more attention?) or any other potential problems that folks foresee?
3. Our other option is a more traditional nanny share with another family in the neighborhood with a similar aged kid. Either of us could host. Which option would you pick?

Any other advice in terms of how to set up the contract/expectations if we go with the first option would be helpful. Thanks![/quote]
