[quote=Anonymous]I have many friends with 3 kids which includes one set of twins, however most have a larger age gap which makes it more manageable since not all kids are home during the day. The hard part is how close in age yours are.

I do know a few people who have 3 kids under 3 and both working parents. They all either do full day daycare/school for the oldest and a nanny for the younger 2, or have a nanny and part time sitter to help. I do know one family with two full time nannies as well. But I don’t know anyone with one nanny for 3 kids so close in age. It will be nearly impossible to manage two infants at once plus meet the needs of a 2 year old at the same time. Even the SAH moms I know In this situation have part to full time help.

Will your 2 year old be in school at all? If so, will the nanny he responsible for transportation or you and DH would fully handle? I definitely can’t imagine a nanny safely being able to get 3 young kids around.

I think the first few years may be tough logistically but it will get better once your older is in PreK and out of the house most of the day.

And even if this wasn’t planned, having 3 kids is amazing and twins have the most amazing bond. Congrats!![/quote]
