[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny that has done a 3 family share  twice. It is possible and I enjoyed it all 3 times.

My background is in caring for multiples and as an infant teacher in daycare. You really want someone who is comfortable managing 3 infants and 3 families.

I will say the family with infants close in age they were all born within an 8 week period was easier than the family  with the babies in different stages, but that was still doable.

This cannot be a long term solution adding siblings to the mix will not work.

For success I think it's best to wait until the children are born and see what the needs are. You may end up being similar in parenting style , but one or more of the children might be higher needs than the others and would be better of as the sole charge.

If you do go for a share it does mean releasing some of your control of the situation. Only  the adults in the situation know if that is a possibility.  You may be a parent that must have everything done your way all the time or your friends might be this isn't possible in a share.

But there are benefits beyond you saving money, the kids get the same caregiver which they may not have if you went the daycare route. They have an early peer group.  In both of my trios the kids and families are still friends.

Good luck to you whatever you choose![/quote]
