[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny that actually just started a job like this 4 weeks ago. The twins are 10 weeks old and they have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who is currently in daycare. The mom just started going back to work 2 days a week and will go back full-time in May. They plan on keeping the 2 1/2 year old in daycare until June and then taking her out so come June, I will have her as well as the twins (who will be 5 months). Come September, they plan on putting the 2 1/2 year old in a new daycare for at least part-time.

I have over 7 years of nanny experience and have cared for children these ages before so this isn't a lot for me. Yes, it definitely is hard..but you need someone who has the experience. If you can find someone who has a ton of experience with these ages and multiples, I don't see why you couldn't find someone to watch all 3.

I am not in DC but they are paying me $17/hr for just the babies and come June, they will be paying me $19/hr for all 3 kids and I will stay at that rate even when the 2 year old goes into daycare. These are also NET rates.[/quote]

But the person who bumped the thread (2nd post) is in a share with two toddlers and each pregnant. Not the same situation. [/quote]

Okay, yes....but it will be like caring for twin infants and twin toddlers. Almost the same..just adding 1 more toddler.[/quote]

I'm not the poster you're quoting- but 2 babies from two different families is VERY different than twins. Different families, different schedules, different parenting habits. They didn't come out having to share time/attention from day 1. It may not seem like much difference, but truly, it is.[/quote]
