Infant care or maid

It depends on your situation right? Infant care is expensive and you'll need to pick up by 7pm and it's not available on Sundays. But they are supposed to be responsible and accountable for your baby. Helpers are cheaper as an option but they live with you so whether you and your family can accept the "intrusion" is important. Also, helpers are human. They have good days and bad days, there will be many frustrations in the employer- employee relationship. Is that something you're prepared for? A good helper is a godsend. A bad one is a major headache...
