[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another twin mom here. Start with a live-out nanny with twin experience. You're an experienced mom, but twins do add lots of complexity. You'll have three kids, you don't need a 4th person to be responsible for. Especially with traveling spouse. Maybe skip daycare for a year and pay one nanny (a lot) for all 3? Your 2 yo might enjoy bonding with the twins early. Something to consider.[/quote] +1. NP and another twin mom. Our oldest was 20 months when we had twins. We hired an experienced live-out nanny who had previously worked with other families with multiples. She also helped with meals, the kids' laundry, etc. One of the twins was in the NICU for a month after birth and it was a stressful time. I would not have been comfortable hiring an inexperienced au pair who was possibly new to the country to try and navigate that situation. We paid $20/hour in the Fairfax suburbs.[/quote]
