[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I was in your shoes just 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever! She was amazing! Just my age going through a lot in her own family and it was a very enriching experience for both of us. I helped her and she helped me.

We're still friends today even though we're 2000 miles away.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for sharing your experiences.  I am wondering if it would be better for me to find a nanny more around my age (mid-30s) or an older woman?[/quote]

I tried an older lady and she was always judging me under her breath and everything I did was somehow either wrong or she would laugh saying I was inexperienced..

You won't have time to knit or sew, believe me LOL

You need someone who will bend to pic up the sock your baby just lost, a quick proactive person who will carry the groceries for you and won't mind holding the door for you while you hold the baby. Someone your age or younger. The friend I found was a housekeeper who lived with us in exchange for room and board. I gave her gift cards for stores she liked all the time so she'd invite me to go out with her when she wanted to spend it, etc. I always paid for her meals when we went out and we got to the point we would share dishes, etc.

It was a very very nice time we spent together. DH traveled for work so I was alone a lot, 5 days of the week. It was the perfect set up.[/quote]
