Being a parent is exhausting, rewarding, and often nerve-wracking.
As women, we are expected to do it all...take care of the kids. Have a job. Keep the house. And we don't get sick days.
It takes a village to raise a child and sometimes you need to bring in outside help.
Using a nanny has many stigmas attached to it:
Nannies are only for the rich;
Hiring a nanny is expensive;
Nannies are for the lazy who don't want to parent themelves.
But in reality, having a nanny help a few hours a week can keep a mom sane!
