Sharing a nanny is a perfect childcare solution for parents who are working part- time and cannot afford a nanny. These parents can now share a nanny by visiting a nanny share website to find a local mum with the same childcare requirements and together they can employ a full time nanny and shared the cost. Nanny share gives you the flexibility and quality care of a nanny and the cost can be shared with another family.
Finding another family to share a nanny with was always difficult. Earlier if one wanted to share a nanny, one had to put an advertisement in the local newspaper. It was always a nightmare, slow and time consuming. Now with an online database of people looking for families to share a nanny with one can search through the database and contact these families at leisure.
There are parents who work part- time and require childcare only 2 or 3 times a week either in the morning or in the evening. These families can use an online database to find another family to share their nanny with. It works well as the nanny can work for one family in the morning and for another family in the afternoon, hence both families can have the flexible care they need and share the costs between them.
Employing a full time nanny is very expensive as mentioned in the Metro dated Tuesday April 18, 2006 “Many of the countries 111,484 registered nannies can afford a luxury life style too, with those choosing to live in their employer’s home commanding an average salary of ₤ 28,171 in London. Salaries for those who live out are about ₤ 30,000 a year, often more than what teachers and nurses earn”. For this reason, it is only wise for parents working part- time to share a nanny with another family. Finding a family to share a nanny with is very easy and cost effective now. You can register with an online database that helps you to source out families wishing to share nannies in your locality. These online databases have a very large resource bank of families wishing to share a nanny and hence finding a family to share your nanny with, will be not at all time consuming and difficult as in the old days.
So hurry up and register with these online databases if you are a mum working part- time and cut down your childcare costs, by sharing your nanny with another family in your locality.
My question, I guess, would be: what are the benefits for the nanny? Wouldn’t that be like having two sets of employers, double the charges, two different sets of expectations, for the price of one? Seems like the family is making out but not the nanny.
