[quote=Anonymous]I think you should be open to less twin experience if you wish to broaden your pool.  Think of it this way: to get infant experience, you must be working with kids under 1, so to get 3 years experience, you have to either be hopping from infant job to infant job (which might work for you if you plan to put the kids in daycare at 1), or you start with, say 2 or 3 month olds, stay until they age out of nanny care (between 3 and 5), then find another job with infant twins.  You have to do that 3 or 4 times to get 3 years infant experience and for it to be infant twin experience, you'd need 3 or 4 sets of twins in a row.  So you are looking at either Newborn Care Specialists (only do infants and have extra training) or at nanies who have worked at least 9 years.  Both of these are going to be eatablished and experienced career nannies and will flee from the word "flexibility" because it is code for "we want you to be available to us any time we wish day or night or weekend."

A nanny who has worked with one set of infant twins, even part time, and whk has been full time with at least 2 under 3 should be able to handle the job and is more likely to be in a place in her career where flexibility isn't a dealbreaker.[/quote]
