[quote=Anonymous]Our midwife actually suggested a family whose baby was seven weeks older than ours. We had the couple over for dinner and then they had us over for dinner. It gave us a chance to see each others' homes, and talk about how we wanted to structure things, if a lot of our philosophies lined up (vaccines, discipline, schedules, etc.) and if in general we got along. We both wanted to align on how we were raising our babies so the nanny wouldn't have to deal with one thing for one family and a completely different thing for another family. We needed the same amount of coverage and so split almost salary 50/50. One of us provided the home the majority of the time and the other paid like $50 more a week to offset the cost of the nanny eating. But one of the things we discussed was nickel and diming. We agreed we wanted to make sure the nanny never had to pay for anything but we wouldn't worry if one of us paid more one week - it all evens out at the end. [/quote]
