What about licensing and insurance? In some states such as Maryland and Washington, when two or more families hire a nanny to care for non-related children at the same time, a state family child care license is required. You will want to check you state's requirements, and the host family definitely needs to have a frank conversation with their insurance agent about liability (worker's compensation, claims by the non-host family, transportation liability).

You have to undergo the procedures for the family child care provider, and the host family must meet the requirements that a in home daycare usually needs. Particularly fire and emergency requirements, safe sleep areas, etc. GO to the Maryland State Child Care Licensing Branch for more information.

Also California and Washington has the same law. I am not sure about any others.

This. In Maryland, the nanny would be operating an illegal home daycare service if she's being paid to provide care for a child, outside of that child's home. The homeowner would legally be held responsible.[/quote]
Homeowners BEWARE.[/quote]

It would be illegal if the nanny was caring for the children inside the nannies home. [/quote]

In Maryland she can watch the household's children legally but not the other children.

Yes, nanny shares are illigal in Maryland but I don't think they are cracking down on it- but they can if someone reports you.  HEAVY fines.  It's funny because so many people eschew in-home daycares but they are a-ok with hosting illegal daycares in their own homes.  No inspections, no insurance, no disaster training, nothing.  [/quote

Well that falls on the parents (employer) and not the nanny (employee).  It’s the parents job to make sure they meet state requirements when hiring household staff. [/quote]

State requirements are that you a licensed.  If you are not then you are breaking the law and have an illegal daycare.  Period. [/quote]

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying about nanny shares possibly being illegal. However, the family is breaking the law. They are the ones hiring employees. If you run a business and you are not staying up on laws, uncle SAM comes for YOU (the employer/ owner) not the employees and you will have fines to pay and in order to be in “good standing” you’ll need to meet those state laws to resume your “daycare.” I don’t know if my parents have workers comp (even though it’s the law to have it when you have at least 1 employee) but if something happens to me on the job, they’re responsible to cover it. I don’t get penalized, the parents (employers) do. [/quote]

You are right. The nanny would not be held responsible but the parents would be. They would be fined and forced to close until they get their license. Getting licensed is at least or four or five months process and that’s doing it quickly. Your home needs to be inspected by the fire marshal. You need to have I believe 24 hours of mandatory classes that are offered through the state.  It can be lengthy.  Nanny shares are not “possibly illegal”, they are illegal in Maryland. But I said earlier that I think the state turns a blind eye unless somebody reports them.    [/quote]

I wonder how that works though? I work in DC (so idk if it’s illegal or not) but on my credit report it has both families listed as my employer and I receive 2 w2’s at the end of the year (1 from each family). I think as it becomes more popular something will change and god forbid someone’s gets seriously hurt, they will crack down. Just pay all your taxes, get insurance and let’s all be quiet and not mess up a good thing  :D [/quote]

The IRS and state comptroller does not care about leagal/ illegal as long as they are paid.

As far as bumping this thread to the top. I only started replying from the previous bump of two days ago.   [/quote]

Uh, yes they do and the reason being is they make money off  fines. Oh! Don’t forget the interest they tack on when you don’t pay within 30 days. Just be careful nanny Share ppl[/quote]
