[quote=Anonymous]Ignoring all of the "nanny shares are illegal" nonsense, because they aren't:

Hosting doesn't have to alternate. This is something that will depend on the other family you find. Yes, it would make sense to split her hourly rate evenly. There are benefits and negatives for each family.

You shouldn't have to babysit for up to an hour waiting for the other family to pick their child up. Unless you have an odd part time schedule or a day that ends quite early? Most shares start and end at generally the same time.

Re: Housework. With two babies so young, housework will be very hard. She can probably do the dishes most days, and maybe do a little laundry. But you'd have to be flexible and understand that some days she won't have time to do the dishes. When you're feeding/diapering/napping two babies, the day goes by in a blur.

Usually, each family is responsible for the food for their child. The exception would be something like a box of cheerios or goldfish both kids eat out of when they're older -- you can take turns buying the new box.

Vacation: 13 days of your choosing isn't a great idea. I understand why you'd want it that way, but you're giving the nanny no wiggle room to try to plan any vacations of her own. What if a family member of hers is getting married out of town? In order to attend the wedding, she would have to take unpaid vacation time? That's a terrible situation. The exception would be if you give her those 7 sick days as personal days that she can take whenever she wants, even if she isn't "sick." [/quote]
