[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We, and our neighbor, are both not thrilled with the experience our PK kids had in aftercare last year. It's fine, but not great.

Our new nanny, who will be watching our younger son, is willing to pick up both PK kids (ours and the neighbors) in the afternoon (it's a short walk) and bring them back to our house, watching all three kids for the last hour and a half of the day. Our son would be home napping during the pickup window, my husband and I both work from home so we're there in case of emergency. The nanny would be making $28 per hour for this arrangement, working, 9-5, M-F, so with taxes, insurance, the payroll company, and everything, we pay $5600 a month total.

(Notably, we live in the same condo building as the neighbors, on the same floor, so their pickup would drop to essentially nothing).

Two questions: 1) how much should the neighbors pay toward the nanny? 2) how would you handle the money? We use a payroll service and handle taxes, so I'm tempted to just pay full freight for the nanny and have the neighbors just pay us via Venmo or Apple Pay or check or something. Seems simplest, though I'm sure it's not technically above board. [/quote]

1. Did you ask the nanny what her rate will be for the share hours?  If your rate is $28/hour, expect that the share hours will likely be $20/hour for you (two kids, doesn't matter if one is sleeping) and $10/hour for the other one.
2. You need a contract with the nanny and both families for the share hours.  Your neighbor also needs to be prepared to be a legal employer, with all that entails.[/quote]
