Sorry if this was covered but when do you start your sleep routine (if you have one) and put LO down for the night?
I was starting at 6:30 and he was asleep by 7 but he's been getting tired much earlier. If I follow his queues his bedtime is 6:00pm (start routine at 5:30). That seems a lil early to me. Should I try and push it back or just go with the flow?

Yeah, forgot to say she almost always takes a nap while we are eating dinner, between 5-6 till about 6:30ish. Then she wakes up for a bit for her bottle from DH and some story/cuddle time, and we start our bedtime routine. Doesn't affect her 8/8:30 bedtime.

And I sure hope the money-loaning works out for you.
ETA: Just read through all the responses. We tried a later bedtime and it was disaster - DD was waking 2-3 times a night. We adjusted to what she seemed to prefer and now we are a much happier family.
Well, I logged into Care.com and looked back through old messages and remembered the hunt for nannies that I went through earlier. She was the only one I liked out of 20 profiles and 10 interviews. I think that knowing her and seeing her in person makes the whole thing less shady bc she is really just a sweet old lady. LO likes her and always smiles at her and sleeps well with her. She showed up for work today which is a good sign! Lol I also asked one of the references who I spoke to previously about borrowing money. She told me that Julia had asked for advanced payment of $500 once in the past and she gave her the loan. There were no issues. It made me think maybe she thought it was normal to ask for advance payment. I told her that I would give her the loan but take out $200 a week until its paid back. I also told her no more loans.
