[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the OP comes back, I hope she can answer these questions:

How old are the current children in the share?
What is the nanny making now?
Hours per week?

I agree with 16:54. That assessment is spot on. 
[quote]Example:

Share with 2 kids, for the sake of the argument, $20/hr, each family pays $10.

Share with 3 kids, for the sake of the argument, $24/hr, each family pays $8.

So in OP's situation, since two out of three kids belong to the same family, the other family's rate would go up to $16 ($8x2), OP's rate would go down ($8 instead of $10). The nanny's total pay would be higher because her workload increases. [/quote] [/quote]
You are shooting yourself in the foot with your tunnel vision. It's already been said by several posters that it's essentially more economical for the (pending) two kid family to have their own nanny at $16/hr. Why would they put up with a share if there's NO financial incentive for them? Seems to me that they are better prepared to pay the nanny a better rate.
OP is clearly the unfortunately loser here and will have to find a new share or resort to daycare, so she can maintain her $8/hr babysitting rates.[/quote]
What's my tunnel vision got to do with anything? The family said they wanted to maintain a share. They are obviously free to get their own nanny but that's not the scenario we are talking about, are we? The rates I included above are simply for the sake of the argument, it's not a given that she'll be getting $24/hr for all three kids.

And to be honest, if your kid is one out of THREE in a share, well, at that point, it may as well be home daycare.  At that point the benefits of one-on-one care - the whole reason people get nannies vs. daycares - just may not apply any longer. The jump from three to five kids in home daycare is not much, and there will be two people there. [/quote]
