[quote=Anonymous]I am a share nanny and I can see some pros to this as well:
1) both families could ask nanny to help with baby's laundry on "their" host week without the other family feeling cheated
2) depending on neighborhood, each home might be closer to different outings (e.g., your house is near pet store and park, theirs is near library and indoor playroom).  This would give nanny more variety for outings, which could be fun.
3) similarly, each time you switch there will be a whole new houseful of toys.

I agree that switching every 2-4 weeks would be better than every day, as the "away" baby will have an adjustment period.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lot of factors that we don't know.  Location of each house re: outings and metro or interstate for nanny's commute, how well each baby's personality deals with change, whether each house is a good layout, how demanding each baby is (which will determine whether two swings, bouncers, etc are needed often) and so on.  I wouldn't rule it out offhand, but i also wouldn't jump in unless all the stars aligned.[/quote]
