[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here with twin experience.  You have received some excellent advice above.  One thing I wanted to add with regard to full day or part day program for your older child: a lot of this will depend on the babies you get. By that I mean that if your infants are born healthy and sleep well and eat well, then the logistical challenge of picking up your toddler midday and keeping all three safe and happy for the afternoon should be no problem, but if the twins are born early or with even moderate health problems (reflux is a common one with preemies) then they may require a lot more support to sleep well and eat well in those early months.  If at all possible, I would keep the older child in a full day program through spring, by which point the younger siblings should definitely be on a solid nap schedule.  Then you can discuss with the nanny what type of program she thinks works best for the summer and the following fall.  If I had 12-month-old twins and a young preschooler, I would be happy with a short or only part week program for the older kid, because those ages are really fun to go on outings with.  [/quote]
