[quote=Anonymous]Just to clairify, multiples are kids of the same age, like twins or triplets. You have siblings and while challenging, a whole different ballgame. For future reference, you will be much clearer saying siblings! As for scheduleing, I am currently in a very similar situation 3 year old and 11 month old. Here is a sample day:
7:30 Arrive and drive DC1 to school
8:00-9:00-Play/walk/1-on-1 time with DC2 until he is ready for nap 1
9:00-10/10:30 DC2 naps, I tackle kid chores (load dishwasher, wash bottles/pumping equipment, throw in a load of laundry, misc. tidying) and have some downtime
11:00 pick up DC1
11:15-12/12:30 Outing/activity
12:30 Lunch
1:15-2:30 Playtime/Independent play while I tidy up from lunch/playground depending on weather
2:30 DC1 & 2 nap (really this is anywhere between 1:30-2:30 start time depending on how DC2-11 month old is doing)
3:30-end of day; outing or activity at the house, depending on time

As for your other concerns:
-it's pretty simple to solve the play/nap issue as these can happen simultaneously! Have your nanny and the awake child play in a different area of the house so as not to disturb the sleeping child, but other than having a monitor with him/her there shouldn't be an issue
-both kids should be eating similar foods (with the exception of the usual not-before-1 foods) just in smaller pieces for the baby
-On most days, there should be at least an hour of time when both kids are awake, this is more than enough time to get any outings in that the nanny may want to take[/quote]
