[quote=Anonymous]Hi All,
So I'm about 19 weeks along with my first, and although I won't need childcare until Nov/Dec 2013, I'm a planner.  I work alot, have long hours, and my husband travels a few nights/month, so we have been thinking that we need a nanny with flexible hours for when he's away.  I really like the idea of a nanny-share (mostly to save $$) but have a ton of questions.  Those of you with experience (both nannies and parents), help me out!

1. Since I work so much, I really like the idea of a nanny who helps with household chores (ie - tidying up, laundry).  But is that too much to expect when they are going house to house?  Do you just lose that aspect of a nanny when you're doing a share?

2.  A logistics question: we would need to host on days when my husband is traveling, but then do we need to have 2 cribs, 2 high chairs, a double-stroller, etc?  Or does the non-host just bring over a pack n play for napping and a space-saver high-chair?  We don't have a huge house...

3. Do most people switch back and forth, or just have one family host?  If only one family is hosting, are the costs split evenly?

THanks for your help.  Also if anyone is looking to do a share in Silver Spring (20901) in Nov/Dec, let me know!  I know it's a bit early though...[/quote]
