[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who said shares are a good choice,?  Nanny shares are for cheap people.[/quote] so if you are not wealthy enough to pay $30+ an hour alone you are cheap? It’s one or the other with no middle ground? OP the hardest part is agreeing on schedule as far as daily/weekly hours plus coordinating vacations and holidays.  Would you want to host? This would create wear and tear and you would need duplicates of certain baby items. Or if other person hosts you still need to get your baby up and out the door in the morning… you could piss switch off but most Nanny’s prefer one location. [/quote]

the “where to host” issue is probably the most potentially fraught especially with WFH. I always preferred not hosting because I didn’t want to have to keep the house in perfect shape and although we had some space, it would have been tight. I had no trouble finding partner families that prefered the convienience of hosting at home.[/quote]

Any tips on finding the right family? The types of questions to ask? [/quote]

No PP you asked but I posted about sharing for 7 years just now.

We would post an ad on here and on Craig’s list and I would stalk the same for people who posted seeking a nanny to see if they may want to do a share if it seemed nearby us.

We would meet in person with them and talk through the dynamics and what we had established in the contract with the nanny to make sure they were ok with it. [/quote]
