[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your nanny want to add another family/charge for 3 days a week?  Not all nannies want to deal with the hassle of two sets of parents.

If the answer to that is yes, then I think it's reasonable that the part-time family pays a higher rate than the FT family; the FT family is basically taking on the guaranteed salary portion of nanny compensation, plus you did the work of finding a good nanny.[/quote]

Thanks PP.  I haven't approached our nanny about it yet because I want to make sure such an arrangement would even make sense before talking to her.

THe thing that I'm really stumped on is how would we handle taxes/withholding for such a situation?  I think the salary piece we could figure out, but then how do I calculate out each family's specific share of withholding for situations like:
1. FT family goes out of town so PT family pays more during that time to have nanny to themselves
2. FT family has 2 separate pay rates for nanny, one rate for FT days and a different rate for PT days

It just seems crazy complicated!!!  If anyone has insight on how such a situation could be manageable I'm all ears![/quote]
