[quote=Anonymous]Shares are great and good for the kids.  There is a bit more coordinating and "politics" involved so something to be aware of.  Usually the host family takes on primary responsibility for day to day issues with the nanny and keeping everything stocked.  In our share we pay separately (same rate) and we do pay health insurance.  I'm very clear with our nanny that if she has an issue with the other family, she can run it by me but she needs to discuss it with them directly.  I'm happy to participate and help facilitate the discussion, but I don't want to be a go-between.  As long as you're clear on boundaries and have roughly similar parenting styles, you should be fine.  When you're interviewing for a share, beware of parents who have too many rules (ie: all organic, only nap from x-y time, etc.) Also make sure everyone understands the pick up and drop off times so if you're hosting you're not left with another child at your house on a routine basis (unless you're okay with that).  Most importantly, decide on the sick leave policy for the kids.  One person's definition of too sick isn't the same as another so be very clear.[/quote]
