[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't do it again....

We hired a private night nurse...apparently she was very popular with the NYC crowd. She took the train down to stay with us.

With our DD, I guess she was OK. Our DD has a name that isn't super common but most people pick it up quickly...although this nurse never got it right. And we had some struggles around our instructions for overnight (I was breastfeeding with supplements but wanted to be woken up at night. The nurse kept letting me sleep and feeding with the bottle).

Living with her for a week was a nightmare though! She took a humidifier and put it on the floor of the nursery, warping our wood floor in that room. She also gave us a list of groceries she required while staying with us- my husband and I spent hours looking for non-dairy milk with less than 4g of sugar per serving (most have 6g so this was hard to find), only to watch her eat an entire cake that was left over in the fridge (I'm all about being accommodating, but don't sent me on an impossible search for low-sugar milk substitute and then proceed to eat all the sugar in my home). She was sneaking food into her room to eat and throwing out the evidence into the diaper pail the whole time.
