My 11 month old is currently with a childminder (has been going for 6 weeks) and seems to be quite settled. She's a lovely lady with lots of experience. However she takes 5 weeks holiday so we have to take all ours at the same time which is a little annoying and doesn't leave us any days left for emergencies.
An opportunity has come up for us to have a nanny share with another family nearby who have one slightly younger baby.
I have limited experience of the childcare game and can't find much online - what are the pros and cons of nanny shares? How do they work? Are they better than a childminder? I feel like we're in a more precarious position with a nanny, is that right?
All experiences and thoughts welcome!
