I second this idea! Are you going back to work full-time or part-time? Back to an old job or new job? (not that that matters, I just was curious). I know a bunch of people in our local parenting group (attachment parenting) who are SAHM who nanny part or full-time. It's a great option is you need childcare but don't want a daycare-type setting. I also know others who do a "nanny share." It can work out well, and often is cheaper or the same as a daycare center.
