[quote=Anonymous]I'm looking for advice or feedback from anyone who has added an infant to a two toddler (2 year old) nanny share. We've been in a nanny share for almost 2 years and we just had our second child. I'll be going back to work in January - so we started discussions with the share family about what we would do. Our suggestion was to find a second nanny and each family separate. But the share family suggested adding our infant to the share with the two toddlers. My concern is that three kids at these ages won't work and the baby won't get the benefit of having a nanny because of how demanding the toddlers are - i.e. struggling to nap, interrupted schedules, lots of time spent in bouncy chair, etc.

We love our nanny - but have had some incidents with the share family/child (biting 4 times, late pickup, not coordinating schedules, etc.). Our child enjoys playing with the share child, but there are some clear benefits to having our own nanny, and we can always schedule playdates since we are in the same neighborhood.

I'm just not sure if I'm just being sensitive to the baby or these are real concerns so I'm looking for advice or experience from anyone who has it! Thanks![/quote]
