Couch for nanny to lie down and relax after taking care of child-related cleaning/prep during nap. It’ll also be great for cuddling kids and reading to them.

Re: laundry, Mabel’s Labels will make you a fabric stamp with your name and phone number that you can use to quickly label all your kid’s clothes. Highly recommend!

Ask your nanny about this. I prefer a floor pillow to a rocker because I want to be able to lay a baby down beside me if one needs more attention.

Comfortable spot for the nanny to sit and rock the infants if necessary/also for the nanny to be more generally during naps, etc?

OP here: Thank you all for the advice!!

- Yes, we have laundry in the basement unit. If clothes are labeled, we might not need hampers but that's a good point to bring up with our share family.
- No, we do not have mold. We had it checked earlier this year.

Is there laundry access? If she won’t be able to toss burp cloths and clothes then add a hamper for each family. Also white noise machine for their sleep area and possibly blackout shades for the windows of the room they’ll be sleeping in.

Basements are dark, damp, and frequently have mold. Have it checked out thoroughly to make sure there is no mold.

-bottles/kids dishes and adult dishes
-dishwashing soap, brush, drying rack
-dresser for storage/changing table
-diaper pail

Appreciate any and all advice! Thank you
