Hi there, I'm having a think about what help to get when my second baby arrives in March as my first one will only be 12 months old then, and I have no family help at all and hubby works long hours.
I was thinking about getting someone in who could look after both babies while I catch up on some sleep for a couple of mornings a week.
Or maybe an overnight person to look after the newborn a couple of nights a week to ensure I get a good night's sleep twice a week!
Do such people exist? I know there are nannys, but they charge £10+ an hour and probably won't want to do just a few hours a week for me. And TBH I balk at paying £10+ an hour when I'm at home at the same time, so it's not sole responsbility if you see what I mean???
Do you think babysitters exist in the daytime or do I need a mother's help or something? I'm not sure what the difference is.
Many thanks for any advice you can give. I live in SW London.
