Thank you so much for this guidance, it's really helpful!! I was thinking along the same lines, so it's nice to hear it reinforced. Wondering if some of these are standard across most nanny share arrangements, or if others have different opinions or experiences?
Hello, I'm doing a nanny share with another family and we are both new to this. As we were discussing needs, some questions came up that we weren't sure how to handle or what a good policy is to ensure both families AND the nanny are happy. Hoping you can help with the below questions:
What's the going hourly rate for a full time nanny share for 2 infants (50 hours week M-F) in Alexandria?
What do you typically offer for vacation, sick and holiday time (paid and unpaid) and how do you split this between families?
Do you get agreement from both families to pay the full weekly rate (50hours X hourly rate) every week as a flat require rate like a salary OR treat the nanny as a "freelancer" in that you keep track of the hours worked and pay only for that... For example, if one or both families come home 2 hours earlier on Friday one week, do you only pay for 48 hours vs. the full 50 hours that week?
How do you handle the situation when on any given day, one family needs care and the other family does not? For example, a snow day or holiday day when one family still needs to go to work and the other doesn't...do you both still pay the day or only the family that needs the care pays for that day?
If one child in the nanny share is sick, and that family still needs to go in to work, how do you handle that? Obviously, you wouldn't want to make the other child sick, but you both still need care.
