One nanny, two families, really?

 Your neighbour already employs a nanny for her little Jacob, and having heard that you had started looking for someone to watch your little guy she offered to set up a nanny share.
Here, there is no denying the benefits are huge: you do not need to spend time looking for a nanny and you already have the second family. In addition, your neighbour is very satisfied with her nanny who has already proven herself for several months. So you can trust that she will do a good job, what more can you ask for?

A closer look at the benefits for parents.

Nanny sharing offers many conveniences to parents:

• First of all, a financial comfort, sharing childcare costs can reduce the amount you pay out-of-pocket up to almost 50%..
• To have someone else who has to deal with all the same paperwork can be very helpful and reassuring,
• You will no longer have to leave an important meeting to go get your little one from daycare because she has a small fever,
• Forget about the pain of taking your children across town to the daycare centre, you'll gain precious minutes of sleep.
• One last little thing but worth mentioning; when the childcare goes well the two families have the opportunity to create very strong friendship.

And the children in all this, what advantages for them?

For a young only child, it is also a way to expose an early age to socialization since he or she spend their days with the child or children of the other family. It's the perfect balance between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the private and the social, and adults and children.
