[quote=Anonymous]What are your normal working hours? Have you considered having the AP would Tuesday through Friday or Monday through Thursday, and supplementing with a nanny share (to get baby out of the house and make it easier for you to work) the other day? For the preschooler, 9-4 is plenty, so you need someone who can do pick ups. If you're comfortable with someone living with you, perhaps hiring a live-in nanny for the first 3-6 months would be best, that way you don't have to worry about needing more hours, not knowing if a sitter would know what to do or that a 1-day-a-week nanny would find another position. If I remember correctly, APs have to be infant qualified to work with kids under 2, and they aren't allowed to work with newborns. I'm not sure whether helping set up the nursery would be within the allowable housekeeping or not, as the child wouldn't be there yet, and the AP is only required to kids' stuff and common areas to clean up after kids.[/quote]
