[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]7:55, you seem to be unaware that OP needs only one expert nanny who can do the job. The fact that "not many nannies" would be able to manage two families, is true, but irrelevant.

We all know that the exceptional nannies, are "one in a million". Parents who want one of these top nannies, offer a top compensation package, to the best of their ability. Smart nannies recognize when parents are doing their best, and sadly, when they are not.

The professional nanny who is highly respected and well compensated, is a happy nanny. When nanny is happy, so are the children. Isn't that the ultimate goal of caring parents?

Yes, but we aren't talking about parents who offer a top compensation package that attracts an exceptional nanny. We are discussing parents who are seeking a nanny share, and most parents who do that do so because they cannot afford to pay a nanny on their own.

Many times on the old forum, it was "explained" that parents who nanny share expect to pay daycare rates to their nanny. And where I live, "daycare rates" for an infant are about $275/week for around 60 hours of care. So 2 families, 2 infants, $550 per week? That doesn't attract anyone but a starter nanny or a daycare worker, who would see that much money as a significant raise and work load reduction.

And starter nannies/ex-daycare workers are NOT going to be able to effectively "manage" 2 sets of parents, unless they are so amazingly intelligent and savvy that they will leave in a year for better pay and eventually become a "one in a million" nanny earning 2 - 3 times their starter rate.
