And lots of grandmothers say they’ll babysit for days and days but I have never seen it work out in American culture.  The grandmother either disregards everything the mother asks or the grandmother flakes.  They forget how hard taking care of a small human is.

A good nanny will engage your baby, socialize him, teach him and, most important of all’ love him.

Huge plus for you is that the nanny will do all child related chores-baby’s laundry, putting away and cleaning baby’s toys, wash baby’s bottles and dishes, make fresh baby food, etc.  Daycare sends everything home dirty.  [/quote]

OP here. My MIL is wonderful. We are super close and respects how we choose to raise our child. This is their first grandchild and she wants to spend as much time with him. She is retired and we know we can rely on her. [/quote]

NP here.  That’s exactly what I would have said about my MIL before my DD was born.  Just a warning, OP.  MIL wasn’t up to the ins and outs of daily care of a baby then active toddler and started resenting us when she had to cancel plans with friends at the last minute to care for DD when she was sick and couldn’t go to preschool.

I truly hope it works out for you.  But be prepared for it not to work out.  [/quote]
