Should I ask best friend to watch my newborn baby?

Al

Hi All:

I am in nursing school and will be having my baby in April. I finish school in May, therefore, I will have a few in person classes (like 10) to complete after my baby is born. My sister said that she will help watch her sometimes, the dad can’t be depended on, and my mother has limited contact with me. With that being said, I am not too sure what to do? I will also be looking into nanny options and asking an aunt of mine. My best friend on the other hand, does not work, so I was going to ask her to watch my baby for me. I will pay her, but I am not sure because I would not want something to go wrong with my baby and it ends the friendship, therefore, I am at a dilemma to ask her to watch my baby. What do you think? Please help. Thanks
