Nanny share?

[Mermz]

Does anyone here do one? How does it work? How did you find t he nanny and the family who would do it?

Idk but I want one. Alas, I know no one that I could do it with.

I was hoping my friend was going back to work after her kid so we could do this. She decided to SAH. Hoar.

Sharing with someone I know would be preferable if we had gone this route. I looked around on care.com a bit to see if I could find any good options, but I didn't pursue it much.

Do you want the nanny to watch your kids and someone else's at the same time? Or both of you give the nany enough combined hours to make a full text job? I've seen it done both ways.

Where I am , most nannies don't want more than 1 kid. The expectation is that the older kid is in preschool or daycare and they only watch the baby for most of the day. I wish we could have shared with our neighbour because our boys are the same age. It would have been awesome
