[quote=nannydebsays]Which house has the best set-up for hosting? IOW, who has more useable storage space, a spare bedroom, frig space for baby bottles/food, a dedicated play area, and a generally larger home with more useable square feet?

I would suggest, since no one seems to be passionate about hosting, that you all consider the logistics of switching every month or two. Do all the parents want to be schlepping the double stroller/playpen/high chair/changing items, diapers, clothes, extra exersaucer back and forth each month?

The other option some people do when in a share is decide the host family gets a slightly smaller weekly cost for nanny. If each family would pay $10/hour plus OT for 50 hours, the host family pays $9, and the non-host family pays $11. It's $55/week in savings, which should more than adequately offset host costs.

And for nanny's sake, if soiled clothes are sent home to the non-host family, replace them ASAP, and be sure to keep extra stock of diapers/wipes/food on hand at all times.[/quote]
