[quote=Anonymous]There was a thread here recently about just such an arrangement, and many posters responded in great detail about the difficulties that adding a third family to a share create. The thread was also about a three baby share so it addressed those concerns specifically (such as needing either a car that can accommodate three car seats and/or a triple infant stroller, etc).

Also there's the fact that when there is a two family share (vs one family employing a nanny), you are doubling the risk of issues, including, especially, illnesses being a factor (if one infant is sick they'll need to stay home or expose the other two infants plus the nanny, thereby removing one typical benefit of having a nanny. If nanny is sick it impacts not just one family but three. If one baby stays home sick the parents of the sick baby will still have to pay for the nanny or the other parents will have to increase their pay to compensate nanny fairly etc).

If you are hellbent on making it work I'd expect to pay no less than $25/hr, with guaranteed hours. [/quote]
