How do you decide on a confinement nanny?
Like freelance vs agency.. quite lost! #advicepls #firstbaby
interviewed many freelancers, a lot of demands (I would use the word demands instead of requests). almost wanted to go through agencies/totally dropped the idea so that I won't have to deal with more unknown demands when the CN is here (heard too much horror stories from friends). finally interviewed the very last freelancer before I want to give up, and she seems to click with me. (but my family doesnt like her. lol)

Agency is a better option. I had mine through referral. We met up twice before birth and she was ok. But during the actual confinement, it was totally unbearable. Almost fell into depression because of her major attitude problem and couldn't find a replacement then due to covid period.
Oh no.. thanks for your input!! Must have been tough!
agency for me. my first pregnancy was freelancer and she was horrible to us. couldn’t find another in time so we did it on our own in the end - big regret. now for my second one, i made sure to engage agency
I’m lucky that someone recommended me a good cl for my first born on 2019. With my second coming, I have engaged her again.
Oh I see!! I guess it’s safer to engage agency then :/
Agency safer unless others recommend you a good one :)
