[quote=Anonymous]I'd do it for $1000 net. I don't think it's crazy low, but it also depends on where you are located. I've done 3-4 toddlers in a share and it's really not THAT hard, they were all boys and all the ages you mention. You don't get out as much, and when you do, you tend to stay fairly close. (Are you on a bus line for the occasional longer outing?) Nanny needs to be organized and have everything SHE needs to get through the day (coffee, tampons, advil, healthy lunch etc) and if she's feeling good, the kids will be fine. The boys need to be on the same/similar nap schedule so she gets a break. A good nanny can make this happen and it's not a big deal. I've done it. Don't listen to the lazy nannies who don't want to work.

Main things to consider are whose house, where will they sleep, who's the backup house, will you rotate, is the late parent willing to drop off at alternate location if nanny wants to get out for an outing early in the day, how will food work (I found it worked best when all the kids ate the same thing so they weren't fighting over each other's better looking food.) Is there a park or similar place nearby so they can get outside w/o too much effort? Does someone have a wagon she can use? (Cheaper than triple stroller and probably easier to maneuver.) do you have backup care if nanny is sick/needs a personal day? do each of you have your own backup or will the backup need to watch all three kids?

those are the main things I can think of.
