Hope you’ve found a solution to this. I feel that it’s ok to let helper manage night feed, provided you trust that the baby is safe in her hands. What I would do is to let her take naps in the afternoon when there is low demand from baby, similar to how a confinement nanny would. This helps to ensure she gets sufficient rest and have the capacity to manage night feeds. Too many horror stories of overtired nannies causing accidents in the middle of the night so I’ll err on the safe side.

I feel it’s okay to let her take over night feeds on weekdays or even daily, but although you mentioned above that she don’t have to do housework, I would still let her sleep in a slightly later in the morning. (I wouldn’t want someone to doze off while handling my baby). But above is just for me, cause I’ve tried not doing any housework apart from washing bottles and laundry, I still end up trying to drag myself up at night. 😵‍💫
