Why would I consider a nanny share agreement?

Making The Most Of A Nanny Share Agreement

Instead of trying to find a nanny who matches the personality and skill base as your neighbor's nanny, consider doing a nanny share. By pooling your resources, you might be able to work out an arrangement where the part time nanny earns full time nanny pay. How? Both sets of parents pay a part time nanny job salary. Two pay checks equates to full time pay for the lucky nanny. Working out a nanny share agreement can benefit everyone, including the kids. Some benefits of a nanny share agreement include:

1) The kids get a chance of scenery, especially if the parents take turns sharing homes for childcare.

2) The nanny benefits from the added income while still technically working a part time nanny job.

3) The nanny share agreement doesn't compromise the nanny's desire to work part time, leaving her free to take up additional employment elsewhere.

Of course, you should have a good working relationship with the other family in order to negotiate a part time nanny work agreement that actually works. You'll need to discuss how you want to handle sick pay, vacation leave, benefits, and a definition of the work term. Both families should sign an agreement stating that they'll take responsibility for covering their share of the nanny pay for the duration of the work agreement, unless there are extenuating circumstances. If planned properly, a nanny share situation can work out really well for families.
