[quote=Anonymous]I think you're going to struggle to find a family to share a nanny with you when you don't have a fairly traditional need of 40-50 hrs. There are already a lot of moving pieces - you need to find a family with a kid of a similar age, nearby (no one wants a long drive for a nanny share), willing to pay similar amounts, looking for a similar type of nanny, on vs. off the books... and then who also wants part time with the same hours as you do? That's a real unicorn. You may need to accept that you're paying for half a full time nanny even if your kid is only with her 20 hrs a week.

Assuming you find someone - there is traditionally just one contract that all three parties sign. It's an hourly wage, and you do need to pay overtime if it's over 40 hrs. The way we did ours was that we had set hours in the contract (9-5 M-F), the agreed upon wage ($24) and the fact that each family would pay half ($12). We also noted that additional time over and above the 40 hours was optional, but would cost $36 per hour, with either the family who needed it paying full freight, or if they both needed additional care, both family's splitting it at $18 each.
