Nannies bring value to new mothers

While, as a new mother, you may want to spend 24 hours a day with her baby, you have to take care of yourself as well. The excitement of a first child shouldn't override your self-preservation or prevent you from taking a little "you" time. For any new mom, hiring a nanny on a part-time or full-time basis can help you make sure both your baby and your needs are met on a daily basis. From regular feedings to household chores, there's a lot to be done with a new child in the home, and a nanny can serve to simplify your transition into motherhood.

Below are just a few of the value-adding things a nanny can bring to your home:

Avoiding stress – If you hire a nanny, it can help you avoid stress in a variety of ways. From handling some of the workload to providing valuable advice during times of crisis, such as an illness, your nanny will be able to ease tensions that you may experience as a new mother and provide important support during times of trouble and happiness.

Getting some rest – One key point of value that nannies can provide to new mothers is allowing them some much needed downtime. A new child will have you on your toes 24/7, but you need to get your rest just as much as your baby does. A nanny can care for him or her for an hour or so during the day so you can nap, catching up on sleep you missed during the night, or even just so you can relax in a hot bath or read a book for a little while.

Learning key skills – No matter how much information is available in books and on the internet, there are certain things a mother only learns from experience. Having a nanny around can provide you with someone to provide key guidance during this learning period to ensure you're picking up on the skills that are most important and developing the right knowledge to help your child grow.

Lending a helping hand – Of course, a nanny also lends a helping hand around the house. Having a baby can double your workload at home, and as a new mother this might simply be too much for one person to handle. With a nanny around to assist, you'll be able to keep your house clean and in working order despite sleepless nights and other stressors that a baby brings.
