[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know we could get a good nanny or find a nanny-share but I was wondering if anyone used grandparents as daytime childcare and did it work out? Another option since I work a very flexible job (academic archivist - I could work from home at night if I had to), would be a parent co-op with other parents. I know people did this sort of thing with learning pods during covid. My baby will be just three months old when we start. Thanks for any ideas! [/quote] We used a grandparent as a nanny. My kids have older cousins, and we did it after my second came along, so I already knew he respected DH and my parenting boundaries. I also paid, which felt fair to me, and meant that I felt more comfortable having clear expectations, but he absolutely exceeded them. They are still super close. Maybe you could do a combination? 3 days of grandparent care, and make up the rest when your spouse is home? Or something like that? [/quote]
