[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Going back and forth between houses is an awful idea.[/b]  The nanny share needs to be out of one house.  In the beginning both parents split the cost 50/50.  After the third child joins, whichever family has two children in the share pays 2/3 of the cost.  If all three kids are from different families, each family pays 1/3.  This is basic math. [/quote]

Stunningly disruptive to the children.  Also drop the dishwasher and trash duties - the nanny needs to spend her time engaging the THREE children and keeping them all safe and happy.  [/quote]

I have read that if one family has 2 kids and the other has 1 the best split is 60-40 not 2/3 and in my opinion that makes more sense.[/quote]

No, 2/3 and 1/3, why should the family with one child supplement the other family.[/quote]

It's really tough to find the sweet spot for a 2:1 nanny share. The issue with 2/3 and 1/3 is that a nanny doesn't get paid twice as much for two
Kids as for one. So that doesn't reflect the market at all. For example, let she say the nanny gets a solid three kid rate of $33/hr. If one family pays $11/hr for one kid, they are getting a great deal. The other family's $22/hr isn't that far off a reasonable two child rate for a single nanny.[/quote]
