We have a nanny share arrangement for DS1, 2 years, and another family's DS, also 2. We have just had DS2, 3 weeks, and the other mum is 5 months pregnant with their DC2. We are thinking of keeping the nanny share arrangement in place throughout our mat leaves and when we go back to work. The idea is the the nanny will have the younger two babies 5 days a week and that the older 2 will go to nursery 3 days and spent 2 days with the nanny. The days the toddlers spend with her wouldn't be the same so the nanny will only ever have 3 children at any time, the 2 babies and one toddler. Just wondering if this arrangement will work given the varying ages and difficulty in getting out and about with 3 kids. I see plenty of mums out and about with 3 kids so I'm sure it can be done but want to make sure that neither child suffers in the arrangement and that the nanny has sufficient time to focus on each of them. Presumably the ratio of 3:1 is still better than the ratios in most nurseries so they shouldn't suffer from lack of attention?
