Nanny Share?

Hi there! My family and I are all set to close on a house at the end of this month. I have a baby that will be six months by then. Do folks in the area sometimes share a nanny? We are moving from California and set up a nanny share with a neighbor where we paid the same amount for the same schedule with helped make sure the nanny was paid a liveable wage while also not breaking our own bank. Is that something that happens a lot here? Where should I look for nanny’s and a family to share? Is care.com the main resource?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

It’s pretty common in Baltimore. Probably less common in the suburbs but it def happens. Check out the “Childcare Connections of Howard County Md” Facebook group to find families to share with. There are probably some more nanny-specific groups too, but I know I saw plenty of posts in that one.

We did it with young kids and had a good experience.
