cons:
If you typically adjust your thermostat when you're out of the house to save money, you won't be able to during summer/winter.
more wear and tear on your house
you'll need more 'stuff' at your house -- high chair, toys, diapers, etc.

pros:
your child gets to nap in his/her bed
no need to pack up your child every morning (particularly nice if your child ever sleeps in)
no need to drive somewhere to pick up child at the end of the day

We will be joining a nanny share for the first time and I'm inclined to offer to do the hosting the majority of the time because I think it'd be more convenient for our family. What are the pros and cons of being the host family? (One child is an infant and the other is 1).
