NANNY SHARE PLACEMENT

WHAT’S A NANNY SHARE?

A nanny share involves two or more families employing one nanny. This arrangement offers economic, social, and scheduling benefits. Economically, a nanny share can be more affordable than hiring a private nanny, as the cost is split between two families. Socially, it provides children with built-in playmates and opportunities for interaction, while offering scheduling flexibility for families with varying needs.
