Nanny sharing has become increasingly popular
with families who live close enough to one
another to be able to utilise the skills and
experience of a professional Nanny. The main
advantage in this arrangement being that the
families share the cost of the Nanny’s salary,
tax and national insurance.
A Nanny Share usually comprises two families,
each with one child (sometimes more). If the
Nanny is required to work for more than two
families, she would have to register as a
Childminder.
Typically a Nanny who undertakes this type of
work is employed on a ‘live-out’ or ‘daily’
basis and travels to one household to look after
the children or alternates between the two
homes. Occasionally a Nanny will ‘live –in’ with
one family and care for the other children in
the house.
There are several
types of nanny shares to consider:
Complete Shared
Care - sharing the Nanny 5 days
a week with all the children being looked after
together.
Part-time Shared
Care - families share the Nanny
and the children are cared for together for 2/3
days a week.
Split Week Shared
Care - families share the Nanny
and the children are cared for on separately and
on different days – for example: 2 days of the
week are with one family and 3 days with the
other family.
Main Family Shared
Care - one family employs the
Nanny on a full-time basis and shares the Nanny
with another family for part of the week.
