Shared Care

This situation involves one nanny and two families. The nanny works in one home and might spend alternating weeks at the other home. The nanny cares for both families' children in one home. This usually works best if there are no more than 2-3 children when the families are combined. When two families pull together their resources they can offer an attractive employment package at a reasonable cost per family.
