I desperately need childcare for my baby from July. She will only be 7 months at the time, so I really wanted to get a nanny as I will be working from home and can still see her throughout the day. It's just soooo expensive. I am looking for someone to do nanny- share with or advice on other options???

We did a nanny share, it had it’s advantages. The main two disadvantages were
a) noisy with WFH
b) be careful not to take on a nanny share with someone who already employs that nanny. As the second employer all of the pay you pay her is taxed as the first 10K is not taxed … ie don’t be the second employer…

How did you find? Also is there always a second family or can you both agree a way to not have this inequity?

I had to work from home during lockdown but went back onto site as soon as I could. Online meetings with a 20 month old literally kicking and smashing at the door because she can hear you but she's not allowed to go to mummy are not nice. We have a childminder and DD loves being with her. DH is still working from home. On the odd occasions DD couldn't go to the CM, he's had her at home with him "look I've done a wee!" in the background of meetings etc. I'd seriously look at "out of the house" childcare. Small children don't understand that you're working.
