[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]disagree with PPs that a nannyshare is unworkable. Since you have about $400 a week to put towards your portion of it, you may be able to find a family willing to split a nanny's salary 60/40 with you. This would be because your oldest would be there only part of the time. In exchange the other family would be getting the benefit of cost savings.
I think it's worth giving it a try to find an interested share family - stressing that your oldest is only home at X so for most of day it would just be your youngest. Also possible you may stumble into someone who is slightly outgrowing their nanny but wanting to find a way to keep them (preschool part-time) so would welcome chance to convert to a share. I would look into it.[/quote]

If OP were to contribute $400 including employer taxes with a 60/40 split, you're still looking at a rate of $14-$15/hour for a 3 kid share. No nanny with the experience necessary to navigate balancing the needs of 2 families and 3 children is going to do it for that rate. You surely can try OP but I don't think what you'd be forced to offer is fair for any nanny at that work load, but you may find a sucker. Be advised, however, it won't take long for her to realize you are paying well below market. She could EASILY work your share for a few weeks, gain the resume experience and grab a better or equal paying job with 1-2 kids ($15-$18/hour)or a significantly higher paying 3 kid share (we're talking $18-$22/hour)[/quote]
