California State DE-4 allowance number - married jointly, with dependent kids, two incomes

Please advice for this situation:

1) Married filed jointly tax return.

2) My husband works full time and claimed the number of allowances of 5 ( including me and 3 dependent kids) for the federal and California withholding.

3) Question:  I will start a new full-time job soon. For the California DE-4 tax withholding form, number of allowances field, should I enter 0, 1, or 5?

4) Question: For the federal W-4 withholding form, I put zero allowance (with multiple jobs = Yes). Should I put 3 dependent kids? or zero? 

 

thanks for your help
