[quote=Anonymous]OP here, we ended up finding a recent college grad on care dot com who has a history of working with kids with special needs and is planning to go to med school. She's getting ready to study for MCATs which will be a good way to use the downtime while the baby naps. So far is working even better than we expected. Her interest in and knowledge of medicine is very helpful for her to understand all the complexity of the cancer treatment and how it affects everything else in the baby's life (which it does, and is super complicated) and communicate well with us and the many docs and other practitioners involved. We're paying $30 an hour (legally with taxes and workers comp etc) with a $6k bonus at the end of the year when baby should be done with chemo and we should be moving on with our lives. Just wanted to post a follow up in case other parents in our situation are searching for something similar.[/quote]
