[quote=Anonymous]I'm expecting baby #2 this fall and am lucky to have the option of taking more than 3 months maternity leave. I realize that in order to keep the same nanny we'll need to continue paying her full salary while I am home. I have two questions: 1) Am I crazy to be thinking of paying a nanny while I'm home in order maintain consistent care for DC #1 both through the birth of #2 and when I return to work eventually? 2) Have others had a nanny while on maternity leave and if so, how did it work out? I know I won't know how I'll feel until I'm home with two kids, but I miss DC #1 a lot and imagine once I get past the sleep deprivation of the first couple months, I will prefer to be home alone wit both kids at least some of the time. So, do I just take it day by day and if I want the nanny to not come in one day, or come in late, or leave early, just play it by ear? [/quote]
