Nanny Share?
Does anyone participate in a nanny share? I work part-time and need to find care, but I'm finding it hard to find someone for just 2 long days. It seems most experienced care providers are interested in full time work. Just curious if a nanny share might be an option and if so, anyone interested?? I'm in Great Neck.

Re: Nanny Share?
We're doing a nanny share, but it just happened to work out with our circumstances. We had someone 2.5 days per week and then we knew someone who wanted a nanny three days a week so we have figured out a way for us both to get coverage and the nanny to have a full schedule. She's with us Tues/thurs and the other family MWF.
I'd suggest looking at college campuses - you may be able to find a student who wants to fill their down time with some work??

Re: Nanny Share?
We tried this breifly with a neighbor. My neighbor didn't need her nanny full time so we had her 2 days a week when I went to work. Would have been fine except my neighbor would assume she could just drop her 2 kids off at my house if she needed to do something. Yeah no! I had 3 little ones. 2, 4 and 5. Then you want to add your 3 and 4 year old to the mix. The Nanny was in her late 60's. I was not comfortable with that so my kids went back to daycare.
If you have a strict schedule and maybe aren't friends with the the person you are sharing with would work out better!

Re: Nanny Share?
I'm looking on care.com, sittercity.com and tried the local parks. We have someone temporarily but I'm not thrilled with her. It's been such a frustrating experience - I almost just want to quit my job at this point. Thanks for the feeback!

Re: Nanny Share?
The girl who watches our twins is available on Monday and Fridays come the fall. Would that work for you?
She is absolutely wonderful!
