[quote=Anonymous]I also work PT, and have 3 kids 3 and under. When #3 arrived, we made the nanny full time. That gave us the most flexibility especially without knowing how difficult or easy #3 would be (#1 was super easy, #2 was a colicky nightmare for 4 months, #3 turned out to be an average baby).

If you can afford full time, bite the bullet and go for it. Even though all 3 of mine often nap at the same time, on some days the oldest won't nap, the baby is fussy, etc., and for prepping dinner, having her here is a godsend!

If you can't afford fulltime, I would figure out the maximum number of hours you *can* afford, and then fill out a schedule with the hours you know you'll need coverage first, and then those you'd prefer second, and go from there. I would also have her start on the new schedule before the baby is due so that your kids are used to it. I work from home, and while my kids like seeing me, they'd MUCH rather go do fun things with the nanny than watch me work. It's just their routine now.[/quote]
