| All my actor and musician friends in NYC had live-in nannies. That way the nanny could go to bed early if she wanted. |

If money were no object, I would get a full time, long term nanny for the days (which in your case may be later like 11 to 7 and a night nurse to help get the baby sleeping through the night with sleep hygiene -never CIO for six to eight months. By then your husband will be on a better rotation at the hospital and have more time at night to be with your child.
Make sure both know your schedule as soon as you do and do monthly checks. Also let the Nannies know that you want to spend as much time with your baby as possible and work together on ways to make that seamless. |

| Honestly? It would work better if you have one live-in nanny. There are several of us who are quite willing to work 24/7, have 24/7 availability, or work a flex schedule. |

Who would want a job like that? Are you talking about a short term position? No one could or should work/be on call for work constantly. It’s unhealthy, |

As I said, there are many of us who do it. This is my third 24/7 position, and I've had one 24/5 with extra hours over the weekend. Typically, we're either empty nesters or never have children, we're career nannies frequently with education and/or specialties, and we make enough to make it worth our time. Every 24/5 or 24/7 nanny I know takes off at least a month between positions, and several have earned enough to not only buy a home for themselves, they've also bought investment property. No, it's not for everyone. But for some of us? Why not? |
