[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am assuming nanny care plus a back up is our best bet, correct?  My schedule is usually 8 to 3 while DH is working out of town 28 weeks a year (home every weekend). My MIL is also retired and lives a few streets away and it excited to care for the baby.

Who was your backup if nanny got sick?  I don’t want to make my MIL our back up if she has plans.  [/quote]

Your MIL is the best backup plan there is, assuming you trust her. My MIL does this stuff all the time for my sister in law. I guess it depends on your relationship though. If she has immovable plans, you could try bright horizons backup care. Lots of employers offer this, so I’d check your benefits. [/quote]

I totally trust my MIL.  I think together with the Bright Horizons care, it could work.

Thank you, all!  [/quote]

+1  Of course the MIL.  You wouldn't want to put a baby in a random Bright Horizons where they're unfamiliar for a random day here or there.  That's not fun for the kid, especially if they have a loving relative a few streets away.  Plus Bright Horizons isn't good for last minute childcare needs, they usually need 2 days advance notice.[/quote]

Bright Horizons has a service where they send a nanny to your home.  It’s all night before and last minute.  It’s not the daycare part.  [/quote]
