[quote=nannydebsays]OP, first, let the other share family know that you are expecting and want to find out their views on having a 3 child share.

If they are willing to discuss that possibility, meet with them and figure out logistics, like where 3rd will sleep, how nanny will transport all 3 places, and so on. Also, talk money. The family with one child is going to likely want to drop their rate slightly, so you will need to up YOUR rate significantly to make the share appealing financially to your nanny.

THEN sit down with both families and talk with nanny. Nanny may have no interest in a 3 child share, or she might be open to it, or very excited about it. Discuss some of the issues you have already covered in your share-parent meeting. Talk wages, as well.

If the other family is not willing to be part of a 3 kid share, then you will need to discuss how to part ways, and look at your share contract to confirm notice time for nanny. At that point, I would guess that each family can make their own offer to the nanny and see what she chooses to do.

Above all, remain civil and be honest and frank about your desire to keep nanny. Don't sneak around. It's childish and will backfire on you.[/quote]
