NANNY SHARE
There are two types of Nanny Share

The first is a nanny who works for two families. The families share the cost of employing the nanny, and agree on the terms of her contract together.
The second is an experienced or qualified nanny who has a child of her own, but would like to continue nannying, so will take her own child to her employer’s house.

A qualified or experienced child carer. Childminders work in their own homes caring for other people's children and giving them plenty of learning opportunities. They often look after children from birth and become a well-respected and important part of families' lives - managing a business-like relationship with the parents as well as often being a close friend of the family.
