[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak to other parts of the country, but in our state this is perfectly legal as long as the care isn't provided in the nanny's home. Nannyshares are very common in many areas. We did two shares, one with each kid, that were both set up this way. The only real distinction from having a rotating share or having your own nanny is that the other family pays the workers' comp insurance entirely (we chipped in for one share and for the other the family considered it a tradeoff for a more convenient situation for their family). The policy covered the nanny and the child who didn't live there, just as it would in a rotating nannyshare. In both shares it was the case that the nanny was well established with the other family and if we had been unhappy, we would simply have left the share, but they would have kept the nanny.

And yes, the nanny is still your employee and you pay taxes just as you would if it were not a share (or if it were in your home). The taxes are based on your hours, not the total pay the nanny is receiving (and you should ideally be paying the nanny directly for your portion).[/quote]
