Not sure if any of this is right.

I am a first time mom to a 3 month old boy. I am going back to work soon and we tried daycare today for a couple hours and I absolutely hated it and do not want him to return. (The daycare was probably fine, I just … it’s not for me).

Anyway, what is the best and safest way to go about hiring a nanny? All I’ve heard about is Care.com but I am not sure what’s best. I don’t know how much to pay them, what experience is “good”, background checks, contracts, etc.

Any advice/tips/etc are welcome. Thank you.
