Geez I did not expect this post to turn out with these kinds of responses. We have made the decision to maintain the nanny as a 3 child share. My child will be in preschool in the mornings and I would still like to maintain the nanny for stability reasons. I also still plan on paying her while my child is in preschool. It does benefit the other family because they are also getting a wonderful nanny and not paying the full rate of a nanny on their own. The ages of the children are 2.5, 2, and soon to be newborn. The nanny can take on the responsibility mainly due to the fact that one child will be in preschool half a day. I know that people do 3 child shares, so this isn't crazy! And I am not interested in home daycare.

Can you share what financial arrangements did you put in place? Who's paying how much?

We haven't made the decision yet on how much to pay, ect. I personally don't feel comfortable with only paying 1/3 because it feels like we would be paying too little. We have agreed on paying the nanny $21.5 for all three. This way we have room for performance raises ect.[/quote]

I would suggest $13.50 and $8 per hour, especially since you plan to pay while your child is in preschool.  The other family might be able to find a nanny to care for two children for $13.50 per hour, but it would be tough to find a high caliber person at that rate.  And you would have trouble finding someone for $8 per hour.  So, at those rates, continuing the share is rational for both families.  Since the shared nanny is currently earning $17.50 and will get a bump up to $21.50, it would also be rational for her to stay on.  She might be able to find another two child share or a job sitting for three kids in one family at $20 per hour, but not many positions in DC exceed that.
