Are there any BB members that live near you that can come and help out? Take the kids for the day so you can have all day with just the newby?
ETA - I found this by googling:-
In Home Care
In Home Care is a child care initiative announced as part of the Commonwealth's Stronger Families and Communities Strategy. Eligible families may have child care provided in their own home (where care is available).
In Home Care places are targeted to families who have no access to existing child care services, and/or their circumstances mean that an existing child care service cannot meet their needs, and where the family meets one or more of the following criteria:
* the child has, or lives with another child who has an illness or a disability;
* the child's guardian (or guardian's partner) has an illness or disability that affects their ability to care for the child;
* the child lives in a rural or remote area;
* the work hours of the child's guardian (or guardian's partner) are hours when no other approved child care service is available;
* the child's guardian (or guardian's partner) is caring for three or more children who have not yet started school.
The Department will continue to have discretion to allow exemptions to the eligibility criteria for a family in special and exceptional circumstances. Services will be required to contact the Department in such circumstances.
