[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We both work demanding and rewarding jobs, and we have a baby and a toddler.

We have a wonderful nanny 8-5 M-F and she is great about picking up after our kids - we don’t want to ask more of her.

We have a weekly cleaner who does cleaning but nothing else (she is also a bit unreliable).

Outside of work, we want our time to be spent with our kids, and on special work and family projects - not washing bottles / doing dishes / cleaning high chair / laundry / house work and yard work / etc. (And it would be amazing to have any time for ourselves too!).

Those of you who have multiple kids and demanding careers - what help has worked well for you? And how do you not make it feel like you constantly have employees in your home?

(Please don’t say we shouldn’t have two kids or someone has to stay home - we like our life, we just want more time. Thanks).[/quote]

Umm you are outsourcing childcare and cleaning what else are you looking to outsource? Theres not much left besides laundry and yard work plus hanging out with the kids. Cooking can be simplified. You could do LS meal or get a chef to batch cook. Bottles get a bottle sanitizer or have the nanny do it during nap time. [/quote]
