Infant care vs Helper

Hello everyone. FTM here. Currently we are early in the pregnancy, however would like to slowly start planning for when baby is here. We are both working and are torn between infant care and getting a helper. I understand infant care can be costly too and if baby is unwell we need to take CL. Plus getting a slot can be difficult. However having a helper has its own challenges too. Trusting them, training etc. Grandparents is not an option as they are all still working. What do you think? Please share your own experiences if possible. Truly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
