[quote=Anonymous]I don't why you wouldn't want a nanny if you can pay for one. We are not rich and only have two kids and we had a nanny when they were little. It was not all that much more expensive than daycare and a hell of a lot more convenient when they were 0 and under 2 til about 2 and 4. Some people wear not having that kind of help like a badge of honor. There is nothing wrong with throwing money at making life easier for yourself. That is part of what the money is for! To answer your actual question, yes this is totally possible, especially with two high earners. The key is using the money for extra hands. If you want practical tips I always recommend the Best of Both Worlds podcast. It's kind of old at this point and their newer posts aren't as helpful for your situation so try starting toward the beginning. One of the hosts, Laura Vanderkam, has a book called "I know how she does it" that is also a good starting place. Congrats on your new baby! [/quote]
