Shared Nanny - Bishopston

[LisAnderson]

I'm expecting my first baby in early Feb next year. I want to return to work & am looking at childcare options.

A shared nanny is one option that certainly appeals to me.

Does anyone have any views, recomendaitons or know of anymum who's also thinking about that as a childcare options?
Thanks

I'm a nanny and I work for three different familes one of which is a nannyshare and I love it. I love the babies and the families and we have had no problems what so ever with the share.

I think it helps though that the mums are best mates so no conflicting advice/approaches, the babies are the exact same age, I always have the children in the same house and each mum only has 1 child so no-one feels like they are the most important in the share, should be paying less etc IYSWIM?

Another alternative is a childminder which many mums don't seem to know much about. I'm changing my career to a childminder in Sep/Oc time and am happy to give you advice about each and I've also worked in nurseries too. Just post back any questions.

Good luck!
