[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Depends where you are too though OP. Many nannies live in cheaper areas and may not want a super long commute. So if you live further out the available jobs are less so the premium for a share is not as high. I would get a feel for what your neighbors pay if any use a nanny.

I have shared for a long time and think it is a really good option for those needing infant care. [/quote]

I think that for a PT share, a higher than normal premium will be needed regardless of location. Unless nanny is working purely to supplement a SO's adequate income, or for "additional money" beyond what she and her family need to live comfortably, nanny is generally going to turn down PT work in favor of FT work.

For example: In Podunk a Full Time 2 infant nanny share costs $20/hour for 40 hours/week. In Podunk, a PT nanny share costs $24/hour for 24 hours/week, because nanny may find it difficult to fill 2 days with work in Podunk.

However, in Cityville, a FT nanny share costs the same as in Podunk, but a PT nanny share only costs $22 for 24 hours/week because the nanny has more possible outlets to find additional work.[/quote]
