Trying to figure out some things, but am not sure about the average cost of FT Nanny, PT Nanny, vs. Nanny share in this area. Any information you can share about your situation and how you found your nanny would be very helpful. TY!

Re: Nanny/Nanny-Share Average Costs?
Lots of good nanny info can be found on the forums of this website:

I am doing a short-term consulting project working 24 hours a week and I pay a part-time nanny $20/hour to care for my two kids. I found her on sittercity.com and really lucked out because she is awesome! She does all kinds of craft projects with the kids and they bake cookies and such.
Oh, and just as an FYI, my sister-in-law pays $19/hour for a part time nanny her 5 month old son.
HTH!
I second the recommendation to visit the DCUM forum; it's a lot of information. Just be aware of potentially snarky people.
We are in a nanny share (that's coming to an end this week!
); the nanny makes $825/week divided between the two families. She pays her own taxes, but we will have to pay half of her social security and medicare (by law, employers split this cost with employees, unless you just pay the whole thing). We also pay a quarterly VA unemployment tax that comes to about $150/quarter.
Good luck!
