[quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised at the first responses. I was a nanny to a 2.5yo and newborn twins and the poor toddler got the major shaft. I was always giving her busy work- books, crafts, sensory bins- because I constantly had to be feeding, changing, or putting a baby/babies to sleep. When babies were on a 3 nap schedule, the basically eliminated outings for the toddler because there was no feasible way I could get two babies to stay on a nap schedule while out and about. We didn't regularly pick outings back up until the babies were almost 1 and on two naps. Then we just got quick spurts to the park or library. The toddler was CRAZY interaction with peers, someone to sit and endlessly pretend with her, and exploration but everything had to be toned down for the babies. I would absolutely send your oldest to full day school and they will THRIVE and still get their special nanny time after school.
