[quote=Anonymous]To the point about organization, the host family DOES have to stay VERY organized to ensure the home is clean and orderly for both babies and the nanny.  No leaving the dishes in the sink or leaving the toys out after junior goes to bed or leaving the mail scattered on the sofa because if you do you're leaving a mess for the nanny and both children.  Not cool.  I was the full time host and felt the pros of hosting outweighed the cons, but don't think for a second there isn't additional work that comes with hosting.  Oh, and higher utilities because the AC and heat will run all day.  (Again, totally worth it in my opinion, and I don't even know how to begin calculating the additional cost of this).

In my situation I asked the other family to bring a pack of wipes every other week (I estimated we went through a package every week).  That and the nanny's wages were the only costs we shared.  The other family brought their own high chair, food, bottles, and any special blanket/pacifier, basically anything they wanted their child to have that I didn't have (I had a place for both children to sleep safely in separate rooms).
