[quote=Anonymous]We would really need the support in the mornings and evenings/weekends when my husband is gone. We would likely keep the nanny for some days so that we don't go over the 45 hours for the AP, and if we have a second child by that point it will be a newborn and keeping the nanny and her extra set of hands would be helpful for all involved. This is all hypothetical of course, we are just trying to work out the best options.

45 hours of childcare is what my schedule requires so that I can work my 9-5 job and commute. Then I also need some support on the days my husband has been gone for 4, 5, 6 days and it's Sunday night and we have no groceries in the house and the dogs need a walk. Just the realities of daily life that are easier to tackle without a toddler in tow. That is too many hours for one person. The nanny would help more for the daily regular hours and the AP would help more with getting my son dressed and fed in the mornings before the nanny arrives and helping with bath/bedtimes on the days I am here solo, some of which would be weekends. We would hope to schedule in advance that on "this night" I will need an hour to run out to target and get toilet paper...or whatever...[/quote]
