[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the responses.

I think I would be okay with a $20 an hour nanny share if the nanny has infant experience and is willing to be paid on the books. Is this realistic though? Would there be a huge difference between a $20 vs $25 an hour nanny?

Part of my attraction to a nanny share in the first place was so I could pool my resources with another family and get a slightly more experieneced nanny who would be interested in sticking around for the long haul.[/quote]

I don’t see how this would work. The nanny would resent the family paying her less.

As an experienced nanny, with nanny share experience, the only way I would take $20/hr for a share would be the following...

Very close to my home. I currently commute an hour each way in order to get my current, higher wage. 
Guaranteed pay, meaning, I get paid $20.00/hr no matter what (vacation, your baby is sick and has to stay home with you, etc) plus guaranteed overtime no matter what. Basically a salary, in the sense that my weekly pay would be the same every week no matter what. 
3 weeks vacation (I’m not picky about my days off and usually will take my vacation when they do).
All federal holidays off
Sick days 
Gas reimbursement (if driving my own car for outings)
No parents working from home 
Share doesn’t switch houses
