I love to cook and so does my husband, so we are covered in that department. Also, we have lots of family close by and LOTS of siblings, so we won't ever be in need for a baby sitter.

They could rotate, so the cook does Monday, housekeeper does Tuesday, babysitter does Wenesday and start over again on Thursday.

I guess if I had a cook, maybe I could clean? But if I had a cleaner, maybe I could cook?! I guess I would say a housekeeper.

I actually enjoy cooking, it's the clean up that sucks- so I'd just let the housekeeper do it! I might change my mind and go for a babysitter after our LO arrives, but I feel like if someone else was doing the laundry and cleaning, I'd be set!

I would schedule her to start at 11am right after LO's nap so that I can have a 3-4 block of time to get some stuff done, which might include some cleaning or cooking but I don't mind as long as I have time for it. I think the mental baby break will rejuvenate me so that I can be a better mommy :) MsMamaBear on "If you could have a cook, housekeeper or babysitter for 2 hours every day, which would you want?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-have-a-cook-housekeeper-or-babysitter-for-2-hours-every-day-which-would-you-want#post-45168 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:44:57 +0000 MsMamaBear 45168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Housekeeper. never knew a 4 month old would cause so much havoc in our house...she can't walk so it's US with her toys and such.LOL mrs. wagon on "If you could have a cook, housekeeper or babysitter for 2 hours every day, which would you want?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-have-a-cook-housekeeper-or-babysitter-for-2-hours-every-day-which-would-you-want#post-45143 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:48:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 45143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ oh god, I can't choose! A year ago I would have definitely said babysitter... but now I've gotten used to not leaving the house so I think I'd go with maid. Maybe a cook once or twice a week.
