[quote=Anonymous]Twin nanny and NCS here.   I think you need to start by figuring out exactly what you really want in terms of how the nanny fits into your lives.  If you want a 24 hour nanny because you want to have coverage round the clock, but you and your husband fully expect to take shifts when you are able to be home, then a 24 hour weekday nanny might be a good fit, but you should still plan for her to have weekends off. If you actually want to have the nanny be the primary person in charge of the children at all times, especially if that includes weekends in your mind, then hiring one 24-hour nanny  is likely going to lead to burnout sooner rather than later.  If you really want to be able to have someone else fully in charge of the twins at all times so that you and your spouse are there only to spend time with them as convenient, and are not ever fully responsible for taking care of both of them, then you should either get two nannies to do 24 hour shifts on different days (such as Sun/Mon/Tues and Thurs/Fri/Sat and they alternate Wed), or get a day nanny and a night nanny.

In your position, I would probably hire a newborn care specialist to be a night nanny And hire someone with long-term twin nannying experience as the day nanny, and plan to eliminate the night nanny when the kids are sleep trained.[/quote]
