[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A share that involves only your infant and another infant is a good possibility. However, you would need multiple other childcare arrangements for your 3 older children. The nanny could not be expected to have any responsibility for them at all.

If you could afford $15/hour FT year round plus benefits, and found a share family (also paying $15/hour FT year round) that clicked well with you and the nanny, would that work?[/quote]

To be honest, no.  If you look at my calculations above, $17 an hour without additional childcare costs for my other kids is about where I break even financially.  $15 with additional childcare costs for the other 3, plus extra gas to drop off and pick up at a nanny share, wouldn't be much different

I'd love to hold on to my job, because I enjoy it, but I'm only going to do so if it doesn't negatively impact my kids.  If I'm not making any money, and I'm adding morning and afternoon drop offs, and my infant doesn't get the advantages of a gentle hand off and 1:1 attention, and sleeping in his/her own bed, I don't see how I can justify that.
