[quote=nannydebsays]If you can find a nanny who has triplet experience, and IF all 3 sets of parents can agree that Nanny will be running the show when it comes to schedules, including feeding times, nap times, outings, and everything else, then you might be able to make this work OP.

Of course, before finding a nanny, all 3 sets of parents need to agree and understand that their parenting choices with their single baby may not mesh at all in any way with what a nanny to "triplets" has to do to retain some control over her day.

But a nanny with triplet experience is going to be hard to find and she will also be able to demand a high hourly rate. If a nanny for a single baby charges $15/hour, I would expect a nanny with the experience and knowledge to take on a 3 family infant share to cost $12/hour PER FAMILY, plus OT.

That means that you'd be saving less than $150/week of the cost of a nanny for your child only. ($12 x 47.5 vs. $15 x 47.5 is a difference of $142.50.)  IMO, that's not really worth the hassle of a share, especially a 3 family share.[/quote]
