[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Just to clarify, I never expect her to live on part time hours and pay. I would help her find another family who needed mornings and see if she could still come to us in the afternoon.

I hear all the comments about wanting her when the baby is here. But I typically don’t have a nanny even touch the baby the whole time I’m on mat leave. That is my bonding time with the new baby and my responsibility, being off work. The day I go back to work is the day the nanny cares for that baby for the first time. This is what I did with my second.

Part of me hopes I won’t go back to my job after my mat leave. I would love to scale back part time then too. But I just don’t know how I’ll feel then. Another reason I am hesitant to shell out $1000+ a week, even though we do love her.

I just don’t know what to do. [/quote]
Taking a couple hours a day for yourself and letting Nanny watch the baby is not going to ruin your bonding time. We adopted DD at 30 days and bonded with her just fine. If you let the nanny have the baby in the afternoons a couple  afternoons a week too you can bond and connect with the older kids after they’ve been at school all day. [/quote]
