[quote=Anonymous]I am a career nanny who specializes in twins.  By 6/7 months, they aren’t that hard, IF you get them into a good routine and have their naps synced up.  The hard part is birth-4/5 months when everyone is doing their own thing.

My concern would be that the nanny won’t be able to focus pn establishing a routine for the twins and give older child what he needs, unless one or both parents will be home for that whole 6-month period to help so that the nanny can take the toddler out for outings during twins’ naps.  Is that the case?

If your nanny can actually handle all three and you are able to go full term with no medical complications then co-op or all three at home starting at 6 months is fine but I am worried about the fact that your nanny hasn’t done this set-up and is overconfident.  I have done this exact set-up before and I would be raising red flags left and right about “what if X, Y or Z?  Then I might not be able to handle all three during this stage?”  E.g., What if twins come early and have special needs (pretty common for twins).

Given that concern, I would be looking at full-day care bc it will be easier to replace nanny for twins only if it really doesn’t work out.[/quote]
