[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids were in shares, and both shares were set up this way. We joined younger than a year, but I certainly knew people who took a year or close to it off and were looking for child care then. Also depends on how strongly you feel that the kids be the same age (that is, you could have a four-month-old join the share when your child is a year, and that would give you a pretty large pool of families looking; we preferred same-age shares but I know both families and nannies who prefer having a gap, too).

I did feel somewhat like the nanny was more the other family's than ours in both cases, but in both cases the other family also hosted the share and in one case the nanny had cared for the family's older child too. So it may well have been the case, but it was still a good experience for us overall.

We paid $16 solo/$22 for the first share (4 years ago) and $17 solo/$24 for the second (2 years ago). In both cases the rates were negotiated before we joined the share. [/quote]
