[quote=Anonymous]Twin mom here. If you can afford it, find a way to hire a nanny with twin experience. If you can accept a live-in you might find someone fantastic. Our former nanny would have LOVED a job like this and would have been thrilled to live in. I think you could get someone like that for $14-16/hr as a live-in and it would make your life inifinitely easier. You could also hire someone who could handle the 2 year old (at a higher hourly rate) and discontinue the daycare for a year or two. If you had the daycare costs, plus the cost of an au pair, and the value of live-in accommodations then you're getting into a compensation range that will garner pretty qualified applicants probably. That's what I'd try to do in your shoes. A good nanny will do the kids laundry, make meals for them, keep their play areas clean, know how to set and maintain a schedule, etc... It will pay off for you in lots of ways you might not foresee right now. Good luck![/quote]
