[quote=Anonymous]Does this sound realistic?
A nanny that I’ve known for three years is becoming available this August when her youngest charge goes to school here full time (we have a good public pre K program). She currently nannies for a 3 year old full time and picks up the 6 year old at noon and has them both together the rest of the day. . 
My daughter will be 22 months when she starts, and she’ll also have my newborn babe (8 weeks) at that time. She seems confident and has watched families of two or three kids. She also did a nanny share with two infants. I think I’m fine with it but I also feel like two under two is a LOT (for myself, even....I get worn out with just my 16 month old currently!) 
Her schedule would be working Tuesday- Friday but would  have the kids by themselves Wednesday for about 6  hours, Thursdays for about 10 hours, and Friday for about 6 hours. The rest of the time she’d just have one or the other or would be more of a mother’s helper, especially on Tuesdays. 
I’ve also toyed with the idea of putting the 22 month old in a part time preschool from 9-12, but we have no family around here to help with pick ups/drop offs and I don’t know if I really want her messing with naps of the younger one that much, anyways. 
Ughhhh. The age thing doesn’t really bother me but when I brought it up to my mom she of course had to bring up that she didn’t think anyone that age would have the energy. But without family around.... ugh I don’t know what to do. 
Any success stories out there with good outcomes? [/quote]
