[quote=nannydebsays]OP, I agree that unless it's impossible to afford to pay FT wages while you are on maternity leave, you need to hire someone FT and pay them for FT hours from the start.

Is this your first baby? If so, you'll probably want to find someone who would be willing to start out being available for some overnight duty while you and baby get used to each other. Then when you do start working again, you'll need additional time to relax, and having that FT help available will let you do just that when necessary.

If this is your second baby, you may want/need more help with your oldest than you think you will, and having someone available for FT hours will be a huge blessing, allowing you to have double coverage and spend some extra time with your older kid.

Either way, nothing always goes exactly as planned when it comes to babies, and unless you have family in the area that can potentially step in to cover your needs a lot of the time, IMO hiring someone FT from the start is the way to go. [/quote]
