We are 22 weeks and starting to think about child care. One of our thoughts is a part time nanny or doing a nannyshare, but we don't know how to go about finding a family to share with. We don't really have friends with like aged kids.

I was the nanny in a nanny share and the mothers were sisters, so that made things pretty easy:) I know a couple other people who have done them and one had met in their childbirth Ed classes & the other had met at Gymboree.
you can go about it a few ways, looking for a family or looking for the nanny or throw 'em both out there & see if you get any bites! I'm not sure where you're from & how popular nannies are there, but often there are local parenting groups/websites you can post on. Or larger ones like gonannies.com. Do you have any local community bulletins you could post on? Like at church or community center or at work?

We had a plan to nanny share with our across the street neighbors. Their child is Lala's best friend, so it would have been perfect... but then the SAHD didn't go back to work, so we didn't need to share.
