Multi-day daycare, is that a thing?

Or a licensed one.

Are their not limits on the number of hours a licensed one can provide care in a day?

In Maryland, there is a separate document that needs to be filed with licensing to allow overnight care. It's not uncommon for a childcare provider to do that if they've cared for children whose parents work as nurses for example. It's possible OP could either find someone who has this permission or who is willing to file that form if she paid well enough.

I can't speak to other states.

A licensed one will turn down the request. There are actually extremely strict requirements for 24/7 licensed care which is why it’s rare. Like there needs to be someone awake with the children at all times, so they need to take shifts.

I really hope you are a troll. Are you seriously considering abandoning a young infant for a week?! That is cruel!

We're considering taking an 8-day vacation when our newborn will be 4.5 months. Ideally, we wouldn't take the baby with us. Is there such thing as a multi-day daycare or multi-day 24/7 nanny, etc?

Note: We don't have any family members, so that's not an option unfortunately.

Sure! You can find a nice boarding kennel for it. Make sure their rabies shots are up to date.

Oh wait-you're talking about your BABY.

I sincerely hope this is a troll but if it’sreally someone with more money than parental instinct: hire three nannies, eight hour shifts each, and have them all come in for at least one day before you leave so they know each other/you/your baby. (I hope this is a troll.)

If you plan on having your nanny lined up you could have your daytime nanny and a night nanny.

Daytime nanny for 1: $25-$30/hour
Night nanny: $35/hour

The problem with this plan is that life happens. What if one nanny had car issues, was sick, etc. You would have no backup. Stay home or take the baby with you.

I take it this is the result of anti-abortion laws? You had an unwanted child?

I'm sorry for you, OP.

+2 How are you okay with this plan? And how is your partner okay with this plan?! You don't get a do-over with your child. I take it you have no experience with infants? They really, really need you at this stage. If you are being pressured to put your relationship before your baby then you need to leave this person, at least for a while. You do don't get a do-over with a baby!

Clearly a troll who is bored and having a little fun.

Not that some parents aren't actually like this, but they don't crowdsource it on DCUM as if they didn't know what kind or response they would get.

The question about whether unlicensed is ok was the icing on that cake.
