For nannies
More to earn. More to bring.
More earning potential, more personalities, more possibilities for the day. Room to do more of what she does best: turn a small group into a world of discovery.
Where caring means sharing
Kids who wave goodbye like cousins. A nanny paid fairly for every hour. Families who can count on each other.
Sharefully is in development. Explore the calculator below; app access and sign-up are not open.
For nannies
More earning potential, more personalities, more possibilities for the day. Room to do more of what she does best: turn a small group into a world of discovery.
For children
A familiar face each morning. Attention to their own little rhythms. A companion for the sandbox, taking turns, and learning to be together.
For families
Personal care at home, with the cost shared. Children making friends and families becoming a community, with backup plans they can make together.
A day in a nanny share · app concept
Drop-off
We’re building a way to record a handoff as it happens, with an acknowledgment from the adult receiving.
Midday
The precious, the funny, the hard. Planned day notes would bring moments from her day to both families.
Pickup
The plan: a handoff home, a little story from the day, and care time recorded while the details are still fresh.
Weekend
We want parents to be able to add moments from evenings and weekends to the same story.
The days become weeks. At payday, everyone needs to agree on what happened.
Payday
A late pickup that never made it into the hours. An extra afternoon remembered differently. A payment that seems a little short.
Once, someone lets it go. By the third payday, they’re still letting it go—but they haven’t forgotten. Raising it now means raising all of it.
It was good. Until it wasn’t.
We’re building Sharefully to help keep small uncertainties from becoming a history between people. The goal is to record care, review the week together, and make the hours, earnings, and each family’s part clear. App access is not open.
The app concept brings recorded care time and agreed rates into a shared week: her earnings, then each family’s contribution. The calculator and week walkthrough here are illustrations, not a live care record. Explore one hour below, starting with two families and one child each. This is a simple example, not the app’s full weekly calculation.
A nanny share can run on understanding.
Her earnings per hour in this scenario
$32.00an hour
For caring for 2 children from 2 families at once.
Then, each family’s part of that hour
Parts follow the number of children: $16.00/hr per child.
From one hour to the whole week
The rates above, applied to a real week’s facts.
Steps 3 and 4 use the sheet’s rates: $22.00 base, $3.00 each extra child.

Each line rounds hours and rate up to the cent, as the original sheet does. Overtime is specific to this example and does not reflect all state or local overtime rules.
Fictional names, a real week’s pattern. The overtime shown follows this example only; it does not reflect all state or local overtime rules. Not payroll or legal advice.
Rates are agreed within each nanny share, not set by Sharefully. Families keep their own payroll service.
The calculator is available here. App access and pilot recruitment are not open.
App statusBe shareful
Lyndsey, a nanny, cared for two small children from different families. When both reached for the same toy, she said it the way you would say be careful, soft and certain:
“Be shareful.”
It was about more than a toy: a way of being together. She also kept a notebook of each day. Nobody required it; it was her own standard, and the day notes we’re building are meant to give it a home.
In our nanny share, the pay lived in a spreadsheet: what she earned, and each family’s fair part, which we took to our payroll service. Its job was to make the numbers make sense, to her first and then to both families. Getting that right felt like a responsibility, and it worked best when every adult did their part.
Max, founder
She taught the children to be shareful. We’re building Sharefully so the grown-ups can be, too.
