[quote=Anonymous]I think there can be benefits. If the nanny is a great nanny to begin with and highly professional and can manage multiple children, having a great nanny is much better than having a mediocre one. It sounds like two of those nannies would have been mediocre without bringing their kids, so the kids are only a second problem.

I do think your child having some socialization (sharing, taking turns, waiting, having a playmate) is not a bad thing. My younger two are much more verbal at an earlier age, potty trained earlier, and really enjoy playing with each other. They are 4 and 2. There are certainly conflicts and times when they don't want to share, but there are many more times where they have a blast and play together. Plus my 4 year old likes to have someone to direct during play, since the 8 year old often directs her.

But, having a mediocre nanny is terrible and having a mediocre nanny who is distracted or doesn't manage routines well for two kids is really not great.

I agree with a pp that you might need to go with a nanny agency to get someone better. [/quote]
