[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry that you all are in this situation right now. I was about to enter into a nanny share arrangement with my best friend, who I've known for over a decade and lives 3 miles from me. Even though we had the contract all drawn up, luckily, my nanny turned down working for the share arrangement. I now realize so many things could have gone wrong and negatively impacted our friendship. For example, my one year older and bossy toddler could end up bossing her kid around every day. One of us could have been frequently late for pickup, racking up overtime charges. Maybe we would disagree with how the nanny does something, and there would be no way to compromise on it. Perhaps a child could cause property damage or too much noise. My friend lives in a rental and we mostly work from home. Back in college, I lived with my best friend at the time, and it completely ruined the friendship too. Sharing a nanny with a friend seems to be too risky an arrangement.[/quote]
