Need information about nanny

Post by toppy » Thu Apr 01, 2010 8:58 pm

We are expecting our baby soon. We are afraid of taking care of a newborn as it is our first baby. We are looking for someone to take care of the newborn. Where can we get information about them and usually how much do they charge?

Who isn´t? I remember when I first had to cut nails of fingers that were tinier than matches. I was certain that I will cut the fingers.

You don´t want to give your newborn to some nanny. Babies need care 24/7 and you will not find a nanny who is willing to do that. Doesn´t your neuvola arrange some baby care courses? They usually do.

And depending how long you stay at the hospital you can always tell about your fears there and they will teach you how to bathe/breastfeed/dress/put the nappy on, and so on.

That is the reason my mom chewed them off. : )
