To get her latching as much as possible. Feed her just before you go to work, and ask your helper to ensure a schedule during the day so that you can feed immediately when you get home. Keep baby in with you during the night (your helper shouldn't be working through the night anyway), so you can get lots of contact and skin to skin as much as possible through the night. I know you're working full time (me too), but being tired is just a normal part of being a mum :D
