[quote=Anonymous]If it makes sense for you financially go for it.  As an MB who has done shares though I will say it adds a level of complexity and can create problems if everyone isn't on the same page.  For example many families have different ideas about what's "too sick" for the share.  Also if the other family does something your nanny isn't thrilled with, does she come to you?  Them?  We found that doing a similar set up caused some stress because the other family was nice but they tended to push boundaries just a bit - not so much that it was egregious but enough that over time it caused some strain even though we spoke to them directly about it.  Our nanny felt sort of caught in the middle in the sense that she didn't want to do some of the things they were asking but also didn't want them to back out.  I know it's all dependent on the particular mix but I would say to just think about it.  It also means if your kiddo is sick the nanny may not be able to stay with them so you'd have to.  We had a good family, really nothing wrong with them but one of the advantages of a nanny is that they can customize things to you and that's not really as much the case with a share.  Also we did find there was a bit more wear and tear and mess on the house even though our nanny was good about trying to keep things clean.[/quote]
