Backups are tied to the ID used when making the backup, so there shouldn't be a problem with mixing data. When restoring a backup, you need to make sure you pick a backup made using your Apple ID. To simplify things, go to System Preferences/Users & Groups and create a second account so you have one account for each of you. When you want to back up, boot into your account to do the backup. That will keep your backups separated.
