A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.

The Thomas Family

& Tanya A

San Francisco$30/hr | 1 kid

We are looking for a fantastic family to share our wonderful nanny, Tanya. We are two busy professionals that recently moved back to the bay area. We are easy going, first time parents of a 21 month old daughter, who is happy, bright and fun. We are open to the age of the child for the share, but ideally would like the child to be in the ~19-23 month range.

We have been with Tanya since January of this year -- she came so highly recommended from the last few families she worked with in our building. We feel very lucky to have found someone that has so much experience, provides loving care for kids and structure. Tanya has over 20 years of experience taking care of kids of all ages -- and has raised three of her own kids. She focuses on creating a loving and nurturing environment that supports their development, including music classes, museums, getting outdoor time everyday, reading books and socializing with other kids. She is dependable, punctual, flexible and communicates well. She is a San Francisco resident, has flexible working hours, is always on time, and always takes care of the kids’ food and laundry.

Credentials include:
- Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA)
- Red Cross CPR Certified
- Fluent English & Russian
- US Citizen (Green Card Holder)
- CA Drivers License

We live in the Infinity (Main St & Folsom), close to the Embarcadero. Our hours are typically 8am-6pm (M-F), and have some flexibility.

We can host or alternate months with the other family if preferable. We have plenty of space in our home and also have areas in the building for kids to play, including a pool. We are also expecting a new baby in October, therefore the arrangement would become a 3-some in January. August-December will be a 2 child rate and January will begin the 3 child rate.

We’re looking to begin an arrangement on or about July 29. If you’re interested, please reach out!

The Riley Family

& Elena Lopes

San Francisco$33/hr | 1 kid

Hello! We are a family of three who just moved to San Francisco from NYC a few months ago. We joined a nanny share when we moved here and absolutely love our nanny. The other family will be putting their daughter in school starting in January so we are looking for a new family to join our share. The share is full-time, M-F, 8am to 5:30pm.

The Neuberg Family

& Rose Martin

Mission District, San Francisco$30/hr | 1 kid

Amazing nanny + 20 month old toddler seeks family to join our nanny share! We live near Dolores Park and have nanny M-F roughly 9:30AM-5:30PM. More details:

We have an amazing nanny, Rose Martin, who we want to start a nanny family share with. Rose is loving, responsible, attentive, and fun! She's been working with us for more than a year with our 1 1/2 year old daughter, Cameron. We live right by Dolores Park, with several playgrounds within walking distance.

What we're looking for in another family for the nanny share:
* A single child for the nanny share close in age to Cameron (~1.5 to ~2 years old)
* Updated on vaccines and comfortable getting yearly flu shots, for the adults and child
* Interested in warm, respectful, and clear communication and a positive, communal connection between everyone, including the nanny and other family
* Having the same nap time for both children, to maximize the play & learning time they can have before and after the nap; Cameron's nap is currently between 12 and 3 PM -- we can move it slightly forward or backwards to accommodate another family
* Comfortable with outings by the nanny, by public transportation and eventually potentially our car
* Sharing hosting between our two houses
* A family that values benefits and a fair wage, seeing the nanny as an integral member of your family
* A family with a toddler able to fall asleep independently and in a shared room.

We currently employ Rose 35 hours a week; Rose is open to more hours then this if you need it for your child.

Shared hourly rate is $30 per hour (so for each family it would just be $15 an hour shared). We pay benefits, such as some sick leave, legal holidays, and vacation.

The Mehin Family

& Nataly Garcia

San Francisco$25/hr | 1 kid

hi There, we're looking for a family to share a Nanny with. We have a super cute and easy going 7 month old boy. We will be needing our Nanny on Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays as those are the days that my wife works - she's keen to spend Tuesday's with baby. We're happy to host at our house all the time but our nanny has mentioned that she prefers to be able to alternate between homes on a weekly basis so hopefully that works for you. Please let us know if you've got any more questions!

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in San Francisco, CA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

San Francisco Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

Do you have experience being a nanny?
How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
Are you open to a live in arrangement in San Francisco? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
Do you have any references?
Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in San Francisco?
Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
