[quote=nomdeweb]We have a fabulous nanny who takes care of our 2 kids, although older one starts preschool in the fall. We're slowly casting about for a full time nanny share, but wanted to see how the transition to school goes (and how after school works, etc) before we commit to it. Meanwhile a friend has approached me about a part time, occasional nanny share when she's in town for her job, usually a couple days every month. Our kids are the same age and our nanny is fine with it and we have a great set up for two kids. But what's the best way to pay her? I

1) nanny should get extra $$ because she's taking on an extra kid/family, even if occasionally, .is a 2$/hr raise okay for those hours?
2) should our family's burden also be reduced slightly? e.g., should friend just pay nanny something directly as extra and we continue our weekly salary for her for our (one) child, or do we ask friend to chip in by splitting the hourly wage? I don't want to seem tacky...but let's say for the hours she has 1 kid (ours) she makes 16/hr, for the hours she has both, she makes 18/hr. Our paycheck would pay her at 16 hr for all hours except the 'two kid' hours and we'd pay her 9/hour for those hours....and friend would give her directly 9/hr *hours worked with both kids?
