[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I get the notion that this is kinda like a share, in practice it's not the same because an experienced nanny won't work for only $8-10/hr even if she's willing to take a hit in order to bring her child along. If she's coming to you, helping you around the house while the babies nap, and generally following your desired schedule (story time, going to the park) rather than getting to set it according to her parenting preferences, then she's more like an employee than a share family IMO.

We hired some one in this situation and paid $12/hr. That's more than most share rates but less than a normal nanny rate. [/quote]

Exactly! MB is still getting the upper hand on everything. [/quote]

At least 2 people understand this, in an actual share both parents have equal in put in decisions.   A nanny who brings her child does not have that. She has the benefit of bringing her child, thus the lower rate.
In most shares an individual nanny makes more hourly not less.
So in , OP's situation the nanny is bringing her child which is a great benefit, but she's also making less money, and still has to follow the directives of the OP as her boss which could potentially impact what she wants done with her child.[/quote]

Nice try. 
Just the extra wear and tear on my house, things and child's toys plus extra kid germs would put me at $8/hour for doing a FAVOR for an employee and letting her watch her kid while on the job.

Most families would not even consider this, hence the $8-10/hr rate has to make up for the favor.[/quote]

Is English your first language?[/quote]
