I'm currently on maternity after havin ds3 last month. I became fully qualified with the ambulance service 8 months ago (bad planning I know!) and when I return to work I will be required to work shifts that could cover days or nights. Which would be fine.....HOWEVER...dh works for LFB who are also required to work shifts which could be day and night. Previously I've been happy to leave two daughters with my mum or his mum when the big shifts clashed but with baby I'm not so sure I could ask so much of them!!! Baby sitting in the day is one thing but overnight is a lot to ask!!!
Anyone in a similar situation? Is it best to start looking for a nanny? If so we dont have any spare rooms!! Would a live out nanny be able to provide overnight care?
Any advice would be gratefully received!!
