[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. I've actually worked in a daycare, and I think that's where my reservations and desire to find out what people think are coming from. I think I'm the most nervous about whether or not this arrangement is realistic. [/quote]

Go with your gut. Anyone who has worked in a daycare knows that if the option for a lower ratio is available it should be selected. A nanny share with three children will not be like a daycare. It will be more personal and the nanny will have to follow each parenting style individually, which means there is no buffer of a director or policies. The families will have to figure out any issues and hope the solution works for the nanny. I can absolutely see this entire arrangement going sour. One family will always feel like their child isn't getting enough attention or annoyed about the other child getting their child sick. 
The hosting family will eventually get annoyed having to keep all that extra equipment, paying higher utility bills and paying for extra cleaning service because there is no way a nanny of three infants will be able to clean. When the children start eating all three families have to figure out meal plans, hopefully no one has allergies. If the nanny gets sick or wants to go vacation everyone needs to find alternative care. I doubt ant temp nanny would do this arrangement. The problems can go on and on. It would be a miracle if it worked and everyone was happy including the nanny.[/quote]
