A stay-at-home mum has defended her choice to employ a full-time nanny – saying it gives her the “energy and patience” to be the best mum she can be. Jen Miller, 35 - who is a full-time mum to her two-year-old daughter, Liberty - opted to hire a nanny for support during the day.
Jen says her hire helped gives her time and space to focus on her self-care routine and gym workouts while her little girl is looked after. Jen - who is married to Grant, 39, the founder and CEO of a software business - from Austin, Texas, US said: "I like to be able to give my full presence to my daughter as a mom, to play with her and give her the attention she deserves.
"When the nanny isn't there, I do feel overwhelmed and other things have to be pushed to the wayside or in the evenings. In that case I find it difficult to give my full focus and attention to my daughter.
