[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the pros and cons of same vs different ages in nanny shares? What size age difference do you suggest? Our daughter will be 6 months when she starts, and we're tempted to look for a share with 1 (or maybe 2) kids who are a bit older, so the nanny doesn’t have to split time between multiple little babies who want to be held a lot, etc. Does that make sense or is there stuff we're not thinking of? [/quote] The closer in age, the better. A good nanny will be able to handle the needs of two infants because they are similar. Kids of different ages will have different schedules, different toys, different activities, different needs. Someone's needs will have to yield. That's not optimal. It's vastly easier when kids eat, sleep and play at the same time. I also think that a nanny share with more than two kids defies the purpose. You are essentially in daycare mode at this point, without advantages of daycare.[/quote]
