Family 2 pays for Friday or finds another nanny share. Most shares are 5 days a week. Good luck to them finding one that is only 4 days a week.
It doesn't really matter what days the hours are on. If family A needs the nanny for 40 hours, they pay for 40 hours. If family B needs the nanny for more than 40 hours, they pay for those hours themselves.
If either family is unhappy with the arrangement, then presumably they won't match up as nanny share partners. The family who needs overtime hours doesn't automatically get the upper hand, requiring the other family to follow suit and pay for hours they don't need.
I disagree. My kids go to daycare. All parents pay the same whether our child is there 4 days a week or 5 days a week, 8 hours a day or 9.
Personally i would find another family/one that wants 5 days a week/50 hours/week.

You need to establish two rates: a two-child rate and a one-child rate. Each of these will have its own overtime rate as well (time-and-a-half).
For Mon-Thurs (40 hrs) the nanny earns the two-child standard rate. On Friday she earns the one-child overtime rate.
Both families split the Mon-Thurs down the middle, unless there are other circumstances that would lead to a different arrangement.
If you don't like it, find another share or find another family that needs Friday coverage so you can split the cost of that day.
