[quote=Anonymous]So what age of child are you looking for in the share?

Most shares work best when the children are about the same age, so I'm guessing newborn?   But will the nanny still have your older child around sometimes too?   Will the nanny need to bring your older child to/from daycare (also bringing along the share baby?)   If I was a parent looking for a share for a newborn, that would be a deal breaker for me.

I also wouldn't want my older infant/toddler/preschooler in a share with a much younger infant/newborn.   I would want my toddler to be able to go out on outings and such and a newborns schedule, particularly in the cold inclement winter months, would hamper that.

So really, I think it comes down to the fact that it doesn't make the share a very attractive option.   One reason why you might be getting contacted by those wanting part time is that it's very difficult to find part time care, so even though it isn't an ideal situation, they don't have much choice.

Why will your older child be going to daycare if you have a nanny?   If you weren't spending the money on daycare for the older child, wouldn't that free up money to help offset the cost of having exclusive use of your nanny?

You mention "our 2.5 year old" so I assume you have a spouse or a partner?   Why are you the sole breadwinner?   Can your partner help either by working or by staying home with the kids so you don't need childcare?[/quote]
