Anyone share a nanny?

EastCoastBride

We're looking into sharing a nanny w/ a couple that I met in our neighborhood.  It's a nanny they've already hired and are using. 

What kind of issues/questions should I be aware of when sharing a nanny w/ another family?  one thing I'm already aware of- the nanny will need a double stroller.  How do we handle it - split it, one family buys it, or... what?

So- issues like shared expenses is something I know we need to cover.  What other kinds of things should we cover?

I would make sure your parenting styles are similar

Parenting styles, whose house, who buys what supplies and age-appropriate toys, food - it would be easier if they're eating the same solids?, vacation time for nanny, payment while you're on vacation, sick days (nanny and child)...HTH
