[quote=Anonymous]Lots of people don't want the added expense, and it does take time to find the right fit.  I don't know that MOST people looking into a share would otherwise send their child to daycare, but that is certainly the case for a fair number.  Generally you are just dealing with people who want individualized care but have no frame of reference for, or ability to pay, the true cost (and before I get quoted as the MB who validated all the outrageous nanny salary claims, by true cost, I mean the full cost of a nanny beyond hourly rate, i.e. employer taxes, vacation and sick leave backup care, gas reimbursement, workers' comp, insurance if offered, and a withholding and payroll service).

I am a MB, and while I don't get into the nanny/MB wars here, my personal observations have shown that lots of families in this area think they should have a nanny, but a somewhat smaller number can afford to become true private employers.  Not true universally, but true in my experience.  There are plenty who can, it just takes work to weed through.

You will likely have the best luck with neighborhood list serves.  Or connections you have from work or friend groups.  When you advertise for a share family, say you plan to pay on the books.  It takes work to find a family that fits with your family on all the levels needed for a share to work but they are out there, so try not to be discouraged.[/quote]
