[quote=Anonymous]Shares can be good or bad, and hosting can go well or horribly.  Both sets of parents need to contribute toys, but the toys need to be communal (if you want DC to have toys specific to just them, keep them in your room or office for evenings and weekends).  You need 2 highchairs, a second pack n play or crib, a double stroller, and adequate space to have them out without feeling crowded.  You need space to store extra diapers, formula, and food or both parents contribute equally and nanny purchases one set of everything to be used by both kids.  If the nanny is going to be driving the kids, she needs to have a dedicated car seat provided by each parent.  Your costs will be higher (utilities at minimum), but if your contract includes divvying up food and other consumables (or strict adherence to nanny only using supplies provided by one set of parents for their child), there's less imbalance.  If you WAH, you'll be able to work out with the nanny appropriate times to come in and say hi to your child, but you're also likely to be irritated by someone else doing things in a way you wouldn't.  You do need to check into liability for nanny and other child.[/quote]
