We hired a full-time nanny. Her name is Elizabeth and I'm fairly certain she is an angel sent from heaven.
Joaquin was doing really well with Jeremy for a while, but once both Bennett and Joaquin started crawling, I think the task became overwhelming. Plus, Jay was getting overloaded with drop offs and pick ups. So, we decided to take the plunge and hire our own nanny to come to the house.
It was a tough decision though for many reasons. Mostly, nannies are just plain expensive. But, we figured it would be great for Joaquin and hopefully would give Jay some extra time to spend at work and allow him to make more money in the end.
We found Elizabeth very quickly and she started work last Wednesday.
It has been AMAZING. She is so sweet with Joaquin. She reads to him, plays with him, takes him on walks and takes him to the park. He really loves her and I think he also likes being in his own house for the day.
And when Joaquin naps, Elizabeth helps around the house. She cleans, does the laundry and last Friday she even organized my disaster of a pantry. And she makes the bed in some magical sort of way that makes it feel like we have clean sheets every day.
We are so happy to have found Elizabeth and we hope this set up lasts for a long time!
