[quote=Anonymous]I posted in preschool forum and looking for advice here from nannies and / or parents of multiples who've had or have nannies.

We have a 2 yr old and a wonderful nanny who has been with us since toddler was a baby. We just had twins, currently 2 mos. I go back to work around 4 mos and DH has no leave. Original plan had been to send toddler to FT preschool (9 to 4 pm, ish) that is very close and have nanny home with twins. That would be $$$ for us but figured everyone would be better off.

Starting to have a lot of reluctance about sending toddler out of the home for so long. He is sensitive, not yet potty trained, and very attached to nanny. I WFH most of the time, do not micro-manage the nanny at all, and quite frankly enjoy seeing the toddler and having him close. On the other hand, he is high energy and just wants to be outside all day. Nanny has expressed that she could manage all 3 herself, but we've yet to work out details or hash out what a sample schedule would like (perhaps language barrier contributing). This would be a new undertaking for her, although she has nanny share experience. How do I know if she is being over-confident? 2.5 yr old and infants just seems impossible to me. But it would be amazing if everyone could be at home, happy and safe (and we'd obviously save $)

PT preschool options are farther away and less impressive to us as schools / facilities but possible.

Looking for constructive advice, insights, even sample schedules or suggestions on how to make this decision with nanny. Also input on whether PT or FT preschool would be easier re logistics of drop off, etc.

Obviously willing to adjust pay and PTO - whatever it takes to keep her happy.[/quote]
