Stayed on full time to care for the older one while on leave. The transition for the oldest was easier because her routine was the same, and she needed to be occupied all day.

Stay on full time! Such a gift to parents on leave, and your kids. They’ll become like a family member during those months when you function like a unit. The transition back to work will be so much easier, and you and your spouse can relax more and enjoy your leave.
Nanny stayed on full time and was so helpful, especially for the eldest to get plenty of attention and still get to do fun activities. Helped too when I went back to work that the baby already knows and loves the nanny
Thank you, all! Reassuring that you all had the same experience / have the same opinion. We won’t let the upcoming arrival of #2 keep us from finally pulling the trigger on a full-time nanny. Initially just weren’t sure how that would look while on mat leave but glad to know it’s normal (and preferable) to have a nanny stay on!
I actually had my current nanny start with my baby was 2 weeks old. My two older kids are in school and I was on mat leave, but my nanny was available and I didn’t want to lose her so I hired her right away even though it felt a little silly. I only get 6 weeks of leave but having her even when I was on leave was okay. There were times where she was hanging around because I had the baby, or she used those times to wash bottles or baby’s laundry. If you have a toddler who will also be home then DEFINITELY have a full time nanny while you’re on mat leave. Caring for a newborn + toddler + your postpartum self without help is awful!
I agree have the nanny stay on full time!
