Nanny question

I'll be delivering in two weeks, not going back to work until August.  DH and I found a nanny that we like and want to hire for my return to work, around mid August. My question, is this too long to have her waiting? We do not want to lose her. Also, I am having a c section and both our families live out of state.  DH can only take one week off post c section.  I am wondering if I shouldn't have the nanny come by a few times a week over the summer, for help while I am recovering. She does have newborn experience.

what do you think?

    Whether it's too long to wait will depend on her needs. But if you can afford it I think it's a great idea to have her help out, especially since you're recovering from a section. I remember it was a while after mine before I could really lift or bend so an extra pair of hands would have been great


    I agree w/this. It wouldn't hurt to have her PT while you are on leave if that works for her.

    Agree. If you can afford to-use her to watch LO a cpl hrs a day so you can catch up on sleep.
