If you truly can't host, you need to find a family that will and TOGETHER find a share nanny. I just can't imagine anyone being ok with the arrangement you are proposing. [/quote]

Could you clarify why this is not ok? Generalizing is a bit unhelpful. Thanks![/quote]

If you are asking to use my space, I would want some input in deciding who comes into it. I just think people are put off by the fact that you already have a set-up (nanny and your kid) and are asking to come into their home everyday. If I am hosting, I'd like to come to that consensus through a discussion with another potential family, I'd also want input regarding the nanny. Not sure how much clearer I can state this...

The whole set-up you are proposing is just kind of a no-win for any other family.  
-You pick the nanny
-You use their house (yeah they don't have to pick up/drop off but what happens when you are late or they get home early...they are stuck with your kid plus every other reason you wouldn't want an extra kid in your house 4 days a week)
-The rate is ok, but I would be uncomfortable having no input into this aspect of the arrangement as well. 
-You are only willing to pay for 4 days a week, unless someone has the same schedule as you, this places the burden on them to pay a nanny $22/hr  each week making your established rate even more unreasonable

Unless you are willing to be more flexible on some of these issues, I don't see you having any success with this endeavor...maybe look into aftercare?
