[quote=Anonymous]PP’s are correct that anyone who intends what the Church intends and uses the correct formula can validly confer baptism; however, this is meant for emergencies (e.g. danger of death), and not to avoid following the normal procedure of having a bishop, priest or deacon perform the rites. The primary obstacle OP is likely to face in seeking baptism at their local parish is the requirement of Canon 868 sec. 2 that “there must be a founded hope that the infant will be brought up in the Catholic religion.” As a non-practicing Catholic, OP needs to be prepared to address this. Will the nanny be responsible? Someone else? Or will OP be returning to a minimal degree of practice as well. OP says time seems to be running out. It is not clear why. People defer baptism all the time, although it is a poor idea. The best thing to do might be to go to the nanny’s parish and talk to the priest there to see what the reaction is. [/quote]
