[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my goodness!  Since you guys are both working and you can afford it, I say go for it! Your children will all need a ton of attention and it is great to have it if you can.  Pay well and the nanny will love you and stay. [/quote]

OP here - go for which? The FT nanny and school?[/quote]

I responded back in January--I had an under 3 y toddler when twins were born.  Yes, do nanny and preschool.  I was SAHM so we did au pairs, which worked out great.  But 1/2 day preschool for the toddler and if I was doing it now, 5 days per week.  He loved it, and then didn't have to be on the twins schedule except for dinnertime.   This large young family is not easy in the first few years.  What helped me was an nanny early on (by when twins were 9 weeks, maybe--and they were born at 37 weeks) who helped get the twins on a very serious  4 hour schedule (I had not been on such a schedule with the singleton).   And part of the schedule we stayed on for years:    dinner around 5, then baths, bedtime rituals and reading and bedtime  by 7pm.  Yes, really, it worked for along time (except in the summers for one kid who couldn't settle till darkness fell............)

Mine are all over 18 now--so ask me questions if you want!  [/quote]
