Question - Nanny Share Costs

[rjakavic]

Good evening

I have a general question about nanny sharing costs between two families.

My nanny has quoted me a rate of ?12/hour for a nanny share for two families. If a share is between one family of 2 children and another of 1 child, should the share rate be divided by half for each family or should it be prorated based on the number of children the nanny is looking after i.e. 2/3 for the 1st family and 1/3 for the other?

What do other people do in this scenario?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

We are sharing 60:40 in the same situation.

us too - 60:40 for the hours with 3x kids and 50:50 when there are just two kids

We shared the cost 50:50 all the time in the same situation, but hosted all the time so paid the food/heating/wear and tear costs as well.

At the time we set up our share, a sole charge nanny cost the same as 2/3 of a nanny share, so there would have been no cost incentive to split it any other way.
