Balancing nanny help and family privacy

Many parents find that having help is essential for mental health, but balancing it with a need for privacy is a common challenge. Strategies include limiting the nanny’s presence to baby-related tasks only, having them step out of sight during family time, or hiring part-time help that leaves in the evening. If you live with a live-in nanny, setting clear boundaries regarding your living space after the baby’s bedtime can help preserve that "us time" while still benefiting from the support during the day.
