Is confinement nanny necessary?

#pleasehelp FTM here and my edd is late Jan 2022 which falls under the Chinese new year period. Have asked around and confinement service during this period are around 5k. I was wondering if it's really necessary to have a stay in confinement lady? I live with my husband only but my in law and parents stay nearby us (walking distance) and I'm sure my mil will be able to help out a little, maybe cooking and washing baby clothes? Have not announce the pregnancy to them yet hence can't discuss much. Anyone could share their experience and thoughts please?

I’m delivery on early Dec 2021. I also only stay with my hubby and in laws is nearer but I would wish to be able to rest and recuperate well during confinement period as it’s recommended we should rest more and lay down also we need to do postnatal massage. So to me it’s important even though, I quite uncomfortable To have someone in my house. 5k is steep.. my confinement lady is 3.7k but it’s b4 CNY rate. I do know CNY will have a surcharge.
