Maid or helper necessary?

First time parent here and my wife my expecting week 8. We are unsure if having a maid or helper is necessary as we are planning to send the baby to infant care in future. Both of us are working. Not expecting in-laws to help out much. Appreciate some advise and when we should start looking for helper.

Our first child goes to IFC and we have no helper. It’s manageable but the problem comes when baby falls sick in IFC, which might be frequent in the beginning months. Then one of us need to take leave. If got grandparents or helper to help out on these days, it would be great.. If u wanna employ helper, I think at least 3 months before your wife delivers will be good. So got time for helper and yourselves to settle in, understand the routine and mentally prepare for infant to come.
