[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a triplet nanny, so it's definitely doable.  My charges are turning 2 in a few weeks and I started with them when they were 4 weeks old.  I've nannied 2 other sets of triplets and find multiples fun, but know that many people find even the thought of it overhwelming and exhausting.

That being said, in my experience (and personal opinion) there is a very small percentage of nannies that can do a job like this well, so it may be difficult to find (and keep) someone. I've had to help my current NF look for weekend nannies on more than one occasion, and we've had some crazy experiences with people who seemed like they would be good in the interview stage.   Also, nanny shares are more difficult on the nanny because of having more than one set of bosses, so in that respect your position would be more difficult than my own.  I have known a couple of nannies who have done 3 family shares and been very happy though.

As for the logistics-

There are several options for triple strollers, but none of them are especially cheap and each has their drawbacks.  I currently use the Valco Tri Mode Twin Ex with a Joey Seat attachment and love it. All in it was about $850 with shipping/tax and the biggest Con is the Joey Seat doesn't recline, so it's only suitable for older babies and toddlers who can sit up. I've also used the Peg Perego Triplette and the ABC Adventure Buggy Triple.  Both of those are nice as well but have their drawbacks.

Best of luck to you OP in whatever you decide.  [/quote]
Having worked with both multiples and shares, it's really apples and oranges. Shares are 100% more difficult 99% of the time.[/quote]
