[quote=nannydebsays]A newborn care specialist (cares for baby and helps new parents get used to their new responsibilities) or a postpartum doula ("mothers" the new mom and helps out with duties around the house and with infant care) might be good fits for you. Experienced NCS or PD are more costly than a sitter, but they might bridge the gap for you while you seek out someone more long term. As far as a sitter or nanny are concerned, you might have better luck finding someone if you've found a fellow parent who needs care at opposite times from you, making the job more like a FT position. Are there any families from your pre-baby classes that you are friendly with? Parents in your Pediatricians practice? You might also look into hiring a "grandma" type, as long as she has current childcare experience. A retiree wanting to supplement her income would be a good fit if she was up-to-speed on the changes in infant care since her day. :-)[/quote]
